International Student Movement

Questionnaire
International Student Movement (Asia)

Activists are currently preparing the 1^st Asian Regional Meeting (April 15-17^th) to take place in Jakarta (Indonesia). It aims to be a platform for people involved in education activism to learn about the current situations across the continent and to strengthen the network of groups fighting against the privatisation of education in the region.

To have more time during the 1^st Asian Regional Meeting (ARM) to focus on deeper discussions and also learn about the situation of people in parts of the world who can't make it to the ARM, we ask all groups/activists to kindly answer the following questions and send the replies to before April 10^th.
