West Midlands Liberal Democrat Youth and Students join national anti-fees demo
December 2, 2004 8:00 PM
West Midlands Liberal Democrat Youth and Students (LDYS) have attended the NUS national top-up fees demo in Cardiff. Adam Teladia, Chair of the West Midlands LDYS led the West Midlands delegation, Adam is also the LDYS NUS Spokesperson.
The introduction of fees is still not guaranteed in Wales as The Higher Education Bill (2004) left the decision in Wales to the Welsh National Assembly. In March 2003, the Welsh National Assembly pledged that variable fees would not be introduced in Wales until at least 2007, if at all. It announced that the final decision would only be made after a review is carried out investigating all possible methods of funding. This review is due to be completed in early 2005.
LDYS NUS Spokesperson Adam Teladia said "I'm proud that LDYS members joined thousands of other students today to protest against the introduction of top-up fees in Wales. Labour have made a huge mistake introducing them in England and preventing intelligent people attending university. I hope the same mistake will not be made in Wales."
