standing for election
Took me long enough
"Jared Evans - Manifesto for NUS Conference
I am a 4th year computer science student at DMU. While I have openly criticised the Union I have not had much to do with it, but I fell that now is the time to start changing the way that the NUS is run and the policies that it makes.
There are many policies that I feel apply greatly to DMU students and will be voting for so that our futures can keep going. As a fourth year student undertaking a postgraduate course is of great importance to me. This year at the conference the discussion of postgraduate fees is on the table and I will be voting for the NUS to take an in-depth look at the standardization of these fees. With the introduction of top up fees we do not need another confusing approach to paying for our further education.
Of course along with the look into postgraduate fees I still have to think about the students who will be following me. With that in mind I will be fully supporting the NUS campaign for free education. We can not let the future of the UK suffer by creating an educational class system.
I feel another problem that students have these days is the amount of debt that is racking up. The tragic death of a University of Swansea student because of hounding by High Street banks due to debt leads me to support Swansea's motion calling for the NUS and high street banks to work together to contain student debts.
As a friend and boyfriend of an international student, I can't deny my passions lie with our friends from overseas. I will be voting for caps on your fees and for more resources to be made available to you.
As a Welsh national, I now benefit from all my prescriptions that are made in Wales being free, however I was born in England and my roots still lie there. As a student we do not need more costs than are needed and I will be joining the LSE and Heriot -Watt University call for free prescriptions in England.
I wish I could list all the policies that I wish to vote for but these are some that are close to my heart.
