Spanish students' fury at changes to Erasmus funding



When people stay in a degree, universities offer their undergraduates the possibility to go around to expand their studies and in most cases improve a language. The government helps these students with some money. This system is more used in Spain than in any other European country (about 40.000 students a year). On the first of November, the government announced a change in Erasmus students. The program affects the students who will go abroad next year. This change also affected the students who are now in another European Union country, because they will not have the grants they had before.

As soon as the students knew the worst news ever, they put their complaints in Facebook and in Twitter, some days after a lot of students went out to the streets and organized a lot of demonstrations to protest against the new cut backs.

All of us know about Spanish crisis, but I think it’s an unfair for people no enough economics resources. We didn’t cause the crisis but we have to suffer the consequences. We only have to be patient, expecting someone with very clear ideas and being changing our country.
