On Wednesday 10th November 2010, thousands of students, lecturers and communities, marched the streets of London in response to Lord Brown's review of the university funding and student finance.
The NUS and UCU (University and college union) planned a mass demonstration protest in Central London.The event protest against the government is called 'Fund our Future', as unions say this will threaten the future of colleges and universities.
This mass demostration illustrates and relates to our documentary topic as it questions the government decisions. As students and as the tution fees are planned to rise to £9,000+ per academic year, it is going to become harder and from some impossible to engage in higher education, students want to go university but are not going to be able to afford it.
The question is now, is university worth it or is alternative routes such as apprenticeships the way forward?
