Thank you to Laura, Sue, Gerry and Raph who helped in our protests against the savage cuts that are to be imposed on Edinburgh College and FE in general. The Senior Management Team were unwilling to accept the petitions that were signed by many hundreds of students and staff across the three (former) colleges. The Evening News however were very happy to receive the documentation and interested enough to interview various staff and students. Hopefully a balanced overview of the protest will be printed today. If it is, it will be posted on your blog directly. In the meantime, here are a few pics from last night. I was impressed that Sue and Gerry got home and changed into red and were still early for the protest, great work!
All the best, Mark
I should add, that we will be running a bus on Saturday to Glasgow to protest against the cuts in Further Education, and you can get a ticket from Donny Gluckstein (just say you are a student of Mark and Marie's and the golden ticket shall be yours) directly. Donny is in the same office as Marie. Bus leaves Waterloo Place at 9.15 Saturday. All the best, Mark
