Nerea Martínez: "The rise in university fees commodify" (17/03/2015)

The IU-Greens candidate for the City of Cieza ensures that the consequences of the policies of the PP have led to the expulsion of 45,000 students by not having money to pay.

The IU-Greens candidate for the City of Cieza, Nerea Martínez, accused the PP to increase by 66% on average tuition fees, reduce the amount of grants and tighten the requirements for achieving them.

"The consequences of their actions have led to the expulsion of 45,000 students of the University for not having money to pay," he stresses.

In a press release, Martinez charge against the Secretary of State and Minister Wert Gomendio "because they want to impose mortgages rather than grants, in this ongoing process of university privatization";

also accuses them of "want students master studies repaguen borrowing through loans that will be repaid with interest to banks, which will have a debt after completion of studies, with a labor market where youth unemployment is 50%.

In his opinion, Gomendio and Wert are in fact imposing a privatization of the university system because since 2011 the PP government pressure on regional governments to establish a reform of 'Map of University qualifications' and requires them to suppress various public qualifications and merge other.

"The data show he stresses the exponential growth, not the public university, but private universities, the public university rose last fifteen years ago and yet, at that time, the number of private has doubled up to 32 current, mostly controlled by the Catholic hierarchy and mutual funds. "

For Martinez, all university reforms being proposed in an accelerated manner, at the end of its mandate, the Secretary of State and Minister Wert Gomendio looking for a "liberalization" and privatization of public universities.

In this regard recalls that between 2005 and 2012 the number of students in private universities has increased from 9% to 13%.

"However -apunta Nerea- EU countries are opting for a radically different policy. Public funding of university tuition free or symbolic, and aid in the form of pay-grants, tax breaks and subsidies in the Nordic countries university studies are free, in Austria, Germany or Scotland tuition is free;. in France tuition requires only the payment of a fixed fee (€ 183 per year) This is the largest model in Europe that promotes equal opportunities access to college. "

"Ultimately concludes the candidate of IU-Greens are facing a pack of decrees and proposals, which will become a real 'reform' of the university system, involving the modification not only of the organization of university education, and requirements for the creation of colleges providing open new private universities without the minimum conditions, but a process of privatization and commodification university ".
