Your struggle is our struggle!!

People around the world are struggling against budget cuts and the commercialisation as well as the privatisation of public education!

We need to unite internationally and globally, if we want to counter this development!

The next opportunity to do so will be the "Global Week of Action for Education" in Nov. 2009 [09 - 18/11].

Let's get organized - globally!

In Solidarity from Germany,
