The National Union of University Students in Finland and the Union of Students in Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences invite everyone to a demonstration for free education on the 21st of April, 2010. Discussion about free education is heating up. Parliamentary elections are approaching, and free higher education is something that unites people over party and generational lines. Free education is the foundation of Finnish society which has enabled equal opportunities for all, regardless of origin.
The National Union of University Students in Finland and the Union of Students in Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences and their member organizations gather for a mass demonstration “Yes to free education” in Helsinki on the 21st of April, 2010. A massive group of current, former and future students are expected to gather. We want to raise up the benefits of a free education in a cheerful manner.
More information to come within the next weeks.
Some students from the university of Helsinki have written what seems to be a generally informative speech on the university reforms and the corresponding struggle in Finland. It can be found in a .pdf form as well as a streaming video:
