On the day after parliament voted in favour of trebling university tuition fees, students in Sheffield feel angry and betrayed by Clegg and his party.
Students in Sheffield and Leeds added their voices to the national campaign against tuition fee rises and education cuts yesterday (24th November 2010).
Today, we will see hundreds of school and sixth form students from across Sheffield walking out of their classes to protest against the Government's proposed cuts to the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA) along with the tripling of University tuition fees.
Over 600 students from the University of Sheffield joined others from around the UK to demonstrate against proposed cuts of 40% to Higher Education funding.
The coaches bound for London for the National Demo are now sold out, but you can still make your own way there, or add your name to the reserve list.
