Spain: Students Say No To Privatization

Students and teachers are observing a nationwide strike to protest against the privatization of education.

With sharp cuts in education budget and one of the lowest gross domestic products dedicated to education among European countries, Spanish students and teachers are demanding protection for public education.

Striking with the slogan "Education is not sold, defend it!", protesters believe that such steps will create elitism within the sector, making it dependent on 'who can pay and who cannot'.
