Thousands of students are marching on the UK parliament on Wednesday in the biggest student action in four years. The protest, called by the National Campaign Against Fees & Cuts, is demanding an end to budget cuts and to restore free education.
Contingents of students have arrived in the capital from at least 40 UK towns and cities. Further nationwide days of action have been announced throughout December.

Deborah Hermanns, from the National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts, said: “Today marks the beginning of a new movement for free education in the UK. Across Europe and the world, tuition fees and privatisation in higher education are being pushed back – and that is because students and education workers fought and didn’t compromise. We are building a movement, not just a march. The days of action in December will provide a focus for actions and energies.”
