Save EMA - Give A Youngster A Chance Of University

Today is "Save EMA Day", colleges and sixth-forms around the country are holding lunchtime protests against government plans to axe financial support that would leave many students unable to continue their studies. Which in itself could deprive the most needy an opportunity to higher education.

If this country of ours is to succeed in the new world economy, then it will need intelligent thinkers and doers, many of whom will need to be university educated. So why is the Coalition Government attempting to deprive the many sixteen to eighteen year olds in my area, from deprived and/or poor backgrounds this opportunity?
In previous posts I've highlighted the benefits of this small allowance, which contributes to bus fares, books, stationery and other incidentals, needed to continue studying. There has also been a post of a young member of Parliament who had been a recipient of EMA when it was first piloted, for her to have become an MP just shows how beneficial EMA actually is.
