Press release: Silent Moment for the Student Livelihoods demonstrations on Tuesday in universities of applied sciences across Finland<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The main purpose of the demonstration is to draw attention to the challenges that students are facing as a result of the cuts. The reduction in students’ income will affect many of the basics of everyday life, such as medication, exercise and healthy food, which many are already having to compromise on. The government’s budget decisions will cut student income by almost a fifth by 2027.<\/span><\/p>\n “We want to use this demonstration to highlight the great concern of students about the inadequacy of their livelihoods in the future. We want to show in concrete terms the things that students will no longer be able to do in the future because of the cuts,” says <\/span>Joonas Soukkio<\/b>, President of SAMOK.<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n SAMOK proposes that the government should take special account of the protection of the lowest earners in the cuts to housing support and cancel the index freezing of student grants to ensure students’ ability to focus on full-time study and their well-being.<\/span><\/p>\n Info on the demonstration: SAMMAKKO student union encourages students to join them in a demonstration at the corner of SAMK Pori campus (Satakunnankatu side) and Matkakeskus on 26.9. at 12-14.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n We also warmly welcome media representatives to the demonstrations around Finland.<\/span><\/p>\n Further information and interviews available nationally: Press release: Silent Moment for the Student Livelihoods demonstrations on Tuesday in universities of applied sciences across Finland National Union of Students in Finnish Universities of Applied Sciences \u2013 SAMOK and its member student unions are calling on all students as a united group to express their concerns about the cuts in student income decided […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":8765,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[23,52,86,127,22,90],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8774","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-bulletin","category-edunvalvonta-en","category-hallitus-en","category-mielenosoitus-en","category-news","category-samok-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sammakko.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8774","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sammakko.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sammakko.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sammakko.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sammakko.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8774"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/sammakko.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8774\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8778,"href":"https:\/\/sammakko.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8774\/revisions\/8778"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sammakko.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8765"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sammakko.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8774"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sammakko.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8774"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sammakko.fi\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8774"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
