| P R E C 3 P3CE I Trevor Phillips There are those who feel that I may be " o v e r s e l l i n g " the campaign against education cuts. However, I cannot escape the feeling that people, both those with power and those without it, are fi sidling while Rome is burning. The complacency of some people involved in education today, students, staff, and bureaucrats, is absolutely staggering. L a s t F r i d a y , I went a l o n g t o t h e Inner L o n d o n E d u c a t i o n A u t h o r i t y , for a meeting with the leader of the I L E A , to d i s c u s s t h e e f f e c t s of t h e I L E A ' S a c t i o n s i n L o n d o n .

I L E A had the nerve to sit and say that the education services in London were actually improving! When I suggested that they should tell that to the schoolchildren, their teachers, or the students who were being chopped, they wrung their hands in horror that I should be so uncouth as to suggest that they worry about mundane matters matters like that. T h e I L E A i s k n o w n f o r i t s prog r e s s i v e n e s s (as some of my c o l l e a g u e s on t h e d e p u t a t i o n , w h i c h i n c l u d e d r e p r e s e n t a t i v e s of t h e t e a c h e r s l e c t u r e r s , a n d the T U C G e n e r a l C o u n c i l kept on s a y i n g ) If t h i s i s t h e w a y that they a r e r e g a r d i n g t h e c r i s i s in e d u c a t i o n , i n a s i t u a t i o n w h e r e t h e i r own s e r v i c e s a r e near to b r e a k d o w n , h o w i s t h e far-fromprogressive D E S regarding it?

GRANTS / CUTS Discretionary

awards

A FULL GRANT FOR ALL STUDENTS SUPPORT THE LOBBY OF THE ILEA ON TUESDAY 25TH FEBRUARY The discretionary award student lies on the other side of the "binary syste m s " . There i s no obligation on the local authority to pay the whole of a student's grant or even any part of i t . The most immediate example of the discretionary award i s the postgraduate . The award of a P G grant i s not automatic npon the student being accepted on to the course. With the S R C catting back on their number of awards i n science and engineering, the picture now looks bleak. One of the major claims of the campaign i s an end to discretionary awards. That means an end to prospective P G ' s desperately rnshing around in order to find a grant. Get rid of the discretionary award once and for a l l .

Overseas

students

What are the major problems that overseas students face? /. Higher fees - over £250 compared with nearly £90 for the "home" student. 2. The IL&A has just increased these fees by 20%. 3 .Overseas students are not allowed to work during vacations. 4. Discrimination by landlords who charge a higher rate of hostel fees for overseas students. Thus the system i s essentially designed to ensure that only wealthy students study in -Britain. End this discrimination - parity for overseas students.

I have found, however, that the people who actually work with students, who know our circumstances and environment, have a totally different, and truer perception of us. For that reason, when we speak of gaining public support for our campaigns, it seems clear that it is the people who are closest to us that we should approach first. And the way that we have to do that is through our respective representative bodies - i.e. the unions.
