Higher education is handed over to the businesses
The government of the
social democrat party of PASOK brought to the Parliament a draft law
on Higher Education that demolishes the remnants of public Education,
dismantles the studies and transforms universities into limited companies.
The Press Office of
the CC of the KKE stresses in its statement:
“The government seeks
to complete the project of the reactionary reforms that the governments
of PASOK and ND have imposed over the last years in universities and
Technological Educational Institutes (TEI). The complete handing over
of universities, TEI and research to the big businesses marauders will
not be temporary. It will destroy everything and have a major and multifaceted
impact on the life and the rights of the people. The response of the
students, the youth and the working people must be unified. It must
be aggressive and not defensive. Education is a right of the workers’
families. Research must serve the needs of the people the development
potential of the country and not the interests of the monopolies. What
is needed is a people’s front to repel the policy that serves the
monopolies. The solution is: people’s power, disengagement from the
EU”.
On 24/8 the Students’
Struggle Front and All Workers’ Militant Front are organizing joint
demonstrations against the new law in Athens and the other cities of
the country.
