EDITORS COMMENTS
In this powerful image from 1982, we see a group of passionate students taking to the streets to protest against a measly 4% grant offer. Back in the days when students were awarded grants rather than burdened with loans, more than 75,000 individuals from 30 UK universities united in solidarity to demand fair treatment.
The energy and determination radiating from these young campaigners is palpable as they march together, holding signs and chanting for change. Some even took their activism a step further by occupying administrative buildings, refusing to back down until their voices were heard.
This snapshot captures a pivotal moment in history when the fight for affordable higher education was at its peak. The smiles on the faces of these protestors show that despite facing adversity, they remain hopeful and determined to make a difference.
As we reflect on this image today, it serves as a reminder of the power of collective action and standing up for what you believe in. These students may have been fighting for grants decades ago, but their spirit lives on in every campaigner striving for justice and equality in our world.
