United for Education

To demand free and good quality education accessible for all.

Campaign Impact

Launched in response to the United for Education march announced by NUS, KCLSU Campaigners encouraged students to get involved by collecting signatures of support, holding banner making sessions and developing a social media campaign. Over 50 KCLSU members attended the march which sent a clear message to government about the HE bill and brought the King's community together in a strong show of solidarity with international students and with students facing racism and xenophobia.
