Around 1,000 students took to the streets of London in demand of free education on 15 November
Students gathered at Malet Street and marched to Parliament Square to demand the scrapping of tuition fees, the reintroduction of student grants and a cancellation of all outstanding student debt.
At the Socialist Students stage, students and young workers repeatedly made the point that after the general election, not only is it possible for us to win free education but also to get rid of the Tories altogether and to pave the way for a radical Corbyn-led government to enter power.
A lively atmosphere could be felt, contributed to significantly by a loud and bold Socialist Students contingent. Yet inevitably, some students will raise questions concerning the relatively smaller turnout as compared to previous student demonstrations.
