"International Student Movement"

Hello everyone,

In order to make the Global Day and Week of Action as powerful as possible, we need a huge number of countries to patricipate, so we have to inform as many people as possible.

One solution that we talked about during the last chat, is to make videos and spread them as widely as possible. We agreed that several videos could be made, but that a more or less common text had to be written on them. So, we need to discuss this text together.

I propose a text, please feel free to comment it, and add yours.

(1) Everyone has the right to education.Education shall be free, at least in the elementary and fundamental stages. Elementary education shall be compulsory. Technical and professional education shall be made generally available and higher education shall be equally accessible to all on the basis of merit.

(2) Education shall be directed to the full development of the human personality and to the strengthening of respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms. It shall promote understanding, tolerance and friendship among all nations, racial or religious groups, and shall further the activities of the United Nations for the maintenance of peace.

(3) Parents have a prior right to choose the kind of education that shall be given to their children.

(The Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 26)

Today, this right is being swallowed up by the logic of profit.

In your contry...

...as well as in many other countries around the world...

...the struggle is the same...

One World

On struggle

Education is NOT for $a£€ !

Last year, on November, the 5th, X countries went to the streets to reclaim their education, and five months later, 20 countries participated to the Global Week of Action.

We have to get united again !
