The main focus of the protest was government plans to allow universities to charge students more to study at them. It is feared that university education will soon become too expensive for ordinary families to afford and that many potential students will putt off by the thought that they wii have to spend the early years of their working lives repaying huge debts.the goverment is being accused of not being honest about howmuch universities will be allowed to increase their annual fees. Many education experts have warned that the current maximum of just over 3000 will rise to over 10000. The goverment have issued a denial,saying that no final decision has been taken yet. However, it is generally believed that a large increase will soon be announced.And when it finally is, we can expect to see many more students taking to the streets.
