    International Joint Statement Around the world over the past decade students, pupils, teachers, parents and employees have been protesting against the increasing commercialization and privatization of public education, and fighting for free and emancipatory education. Many of us use the International Student Movement as a self-managed platform initiated to exchange information, to network and to co-ordinate protests at both the international and the global levels. Since the ISM platform was initiated in November 2008 various global days and weeks of action were coordinated. We strive for structures based on direct participation and non-hierarchical organization through collective discussion and action. Anyone who identifies with the struggle against the privatization of public education, and for free and emancipatory education can join and participate on as well as shape the platform! The following aims unite us worldwide: What are we struggling against? The effects of the current economic system on people and education systems: → tuition fees or any form of fees which exclude people from accessing and equally participating in education → student debt → public education aligned to serve the (labour) market; ► The so called Bologna-Process (as with its counterparts around the world) is aimed at implementing education systems that primarily train people in skills serving the labour market. It promotes the reduction of costs for training a person, shortens the length of time spent studying, and produces underqualified workforces. → turning education into a commodity as part of the commodification of all aspects of life → the significant and increasing influence of business interests on basic budgets for public education → the significant and increasing budget cuts on public education worldwide → the privatisation of public funds through the subsidisation of private educational institutions → the commodification and exploitation of labor within educational institutions We stand against discrimination and exclusion within any educational institution based on: → socio-economic background, for instance by charging fees so that people with less money can't participate equally → nationality → performance and academic record → political ideologies and activities → gender → sexual orientation → religion → ethnic background → skin colour We stand against the prioritisation of research towards commercially valuable patents rather than open knowledge freely available to all → Public educational institutions are increasingly forced to compete for private sponsorships to do (basic) research; at the same time private funds tend to be invested into research promising to be profitable, leading to a decline in funding for areas of research which may be important but not deemed economically lucrative. Educational institutions and participants are evaluated on the basis of economic profitability and often compete to receive additional public funding based on this criteria. We stand against the prioritisation of income-generating research grants ahead of education and basic research Activities for the army within educational institutions: → no research specifically for military purposes → no recruiting and advertising activities for the army What are we struggling for? CONTENT: → free and emancipatory education as a human right. Education should primarily work for the emancipation of the individual, which means: being enabled to critically reflect and understand the power structures and environment surrounding him-/herself. Education must not only enable the emancipation of the individual but society as a whole → education as a public good serving public interests → academic freedom and choice: freedom to pursue any educational discipline ACCESS: → free from monetary mechanisms of payment by participants and any kind of discrimination and exclusion and therefore freely accessible to all individuals → sufficient funding for all public educational
