UKYP launch high-profile campaign against tuition fees

The latest campaign to be launched by the UK Youth Parliament (UKYP) involves putting stickers with the slogan “fee for all, free for all” on thousands of circulating pound coins in its efforts to abolish university tuition fees.
The year-long campaign is to involve a mixture of symbolic gesture, direct action and the publication of a report to try and convince ministers to scrap fees.
Unlike the National Union of Students, the UKYP refuses to accept that students have to make a contribution to their tuition.
Members of the parliament (MYPs) are encouraging school pupils to stage five-minute sit-ins on their sportsfields at a fixed time, a day before the ministers launch the review into fees next year.
Case studies of celebrities, MPs, amongst others, will be highlighted in the report as they voice their opinion on student tuition fees, with an eventual handover to the prime minister, Gordon Brown, at 10 Downing Street later this year.
MYPs also intend to publish a naming and shaming” list of frontbench and influential MPs who agree with charging students tuition fees, despite not having to pay for their own education.
