AROUND 150 students and staff from Canterbury Christ Church University took part in the protest against proposals to raise tuition fees to £9000 and cuts to colleges such as EMA.
Steve Godwin, National Union of Students president at Canterbury Christ Church University, described the rise in tuition fees as an “interesting proposal”.
He added: “it’s interesting because it’s ridiculous.”
At least 50,000 students and lecturers took part in the demonstration in London, which was aimed at challenging the big changes to funding proposed for higher education by the government.
The protest was organised by the National Union of Students (NUS) and the University and College Union, which represents lecturers, researchers and academics.
