Hello everyone! The Education Rights Campaign
(ERC) has renewed its campaign against education underfunding, attack on
democratic rights and fee hike. Last year we had a day of action on October 1st
2012 with impressive turnout at the University of Ibadan (U.I) and a few other
places. This year we want to succeed far more in telling the government a big
NO TO ALL ANTI-POOR EDUCATION POLICIES!
So we are
mobilising towards a new day of action on June 16, 2013. This will involve lecture
boycotts and mass protests on campuses and on the streets to call government's
attention to the deplorable condition of public education and the need to use
our collective wealth to fund education adequately.
However we
need the help of everyone now. We want to collate a comprehensive list of cases
of current hike in school fees, cases of suspension, expulsion, rustication and
arrest/detention of students and staff union activists, cases of ban of
independent unionism etc on campuses and in schools. We want to gather all
these together over the next two weeks in other to make a strong case to back
up this campaign.
So if you are
from a school where fees have been recently hiked or union leaders/activists
victimised or your union has been banned, please write to edurightsforall@yahoo.co.uk
or leave a comment under this post. Please include the name of the school, the
full names of those involved if it is a case of victimisation you are
reporting, as well as other factual details that can help us verify the
veracity of your information. If it is a case of fee hike, we will like
detailed information about the previous fee regime and the new hike as well as
any other valuable details.
Don't forget to also drop your phone number and E-mail address through which we can contact you if need be. You can also call 07033697259 if you would like to help the campaign in any other way.
Thanks!
Free and
functional education is a right! Not Privilege!!
