NUS Engagement Delegates were sent to the NUS Scotland and NUS UK annual democratic conferences and our students participated in the NUS National Demo: Educate, Employ, Empower, where thousands of students marched through London in November 2012 to demand a properly funded tertiary education system accessible to all; fair work, fair pay and sustainable jobs.
We participated in the NUS Unlocking Scotland’s Potential campaign which asked universities to invest more in widening access activity and achieve significant improvements in the number of students from deprived backgrounds that they recruit and retain and for the Scottish Parliament to legislate for new legally enforceable widening access agreements for universities, so that we achieve fairer access in Scotland over the coming years.
