Australia- 9月2日,留学生游行
Tuesday, September 1st, 2009明天,留学生大规模游行就要举行了,我和老公并不准备参加, 一是学业为重, 二是我们也刚到悉尼,除了从网站上了解到一些简单信息外, 其他都不甚了解。但是我们会关注,也会在Blog上发布后续报道。
详细信息如下: 9月2日,成千上万的海外留学生将在悉尼和墨尔本举行大规模游行,此次留学生游行是由NATIONAL UNION OF STUDENTS组织的,主题是FAIR EDUCATION: JUSTICE FOR INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS,即对联邦和州政府施压,呼吁改善留学环境,包括学生安全问题。届时,将有各大高校的留学生代表、印度和中国社区代表参加。 他们将沿街游行,向媒体袒露留学光环背后的隐患和担忧:孤独、治安、住宿、签证、交通优惠和院校违规经营。
各大城市游行地点及时间公布如下:
