Students from Fortwilliam, Hazelwood and other schools marched into the city centre to oppose the recommendations of the Browne review and any cuts to education including the EMA which thousands of students depend on to stay in school.
This protest is part of the build to an all-Belfast protest called from a Facebook group. Socialist Youth and Youth Fight for Jobs and Education are supporting the call for walk-outs from schools across Belfast and encouraging workers and young people to get down to the protest.

The one-day public-sector strike on 30 November is expected to involve nearly four million workers – the biggest single day of industrial action in Britain’s history. In the face of the Con-Dem coalition’s savage austerity, public-sector workers are preparing for a hard struggle to defend pensions, services, pay and conditions. This represents a potentially momentous turning point.
