Email the Department for Education: scrap interest on student loans!

Here’s why people like you are supporting this important campaign:

"I began earning a good wage in 2022. My debt before working was just over £58,000. After a year of working and a pay increase, I checked again and owed around £57,600. I'm never going to be able to pay off this loan. When I took out the loan I was told the interest rate was 1.5% - I was never told this could change and had no alternative options to pay for university. I lose a substantial amount each month and with the cost of living, things only get more difficult."

Please email the Department for Education and demand they commit to scrapping interest on student loans. Takes less than 30 seconds.

#Students are targeted because of their support for #Palestine

The young are finally rising up against the #system and the powerful, and what will it lead to?
I think the #regime will soon find a reason for another Kent State massacre.

The bicibús: how Barcelona got kids cycling safely to school – and loving it!

he bus leaves Monday to Friday at 8.30am sharp outside the Sant Antoni market in #Barcelona’s #Eixample district, but this is no ordinary vehicle; it has hundreds of wheels, dozens of drivers – and no passengers. This is the Barcelona #bicibús, the fun, safe mode of transport that makes going to school feel like a party.

On a cool September morning, a group of about 60 parents and children aged three to 11, on bikes and scooters, gather in the Plaça Conxita Pérez for the school run.
