Staffordshire University students union twins with Palestine Polytechnic (Hebron). Staffordshire University Students Union passed a motion to twin their Students Union with Palestine Polytechnic (Hebron).
In an identical motion to the one passed by Action Palestine in Manchester University the motion stated that students in Palestine have had their right to education consistently denied by the Israeli Occupation: checkpoints, attacks on Universities and limitations on movement which seriously hinder the ability of students in Palestine to learn and that the Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares that everyone has the ‘right to education’.
The union will now lobby Staffordshire University to provide at least 3 scholarships to Palestinian students who wish to study at the Staffordshire University as well as to support the Palestinian students in their “Right to Education†campaign and for their basic Human Rights within the territories of mandate Palestine and refugees.
