Sarah Kay @k-interarma.bsky.social · 15hThis is a really important argument that the student unions are making: the absence of substitute teachers in socially deprived areas and the dilapidated nature of the buildings is discriminatory in essence, and fails to provide all students with the same opportunities. 070
Sarah Kay @k-interarma.bsky.social · 15hCan add that this is generational. This isn’t the first wave of student protests on the very issue, my gen did too; this puts even more of an onus on the government to finally do something. Instead, students are said not to want to work or study. They do. Just safely. A basic right to education. 1152

Sarah Kay @k-interarma.bsky.social · 05/10/2026The government’s response focuses on the violence and doesn’t address the demands, which are very basic. Students are allowed to learn without lead paint, asbestos, unsafe electrical setups, and in classrooms packed to the brim in which teachers can’t assist students anymore due to overcrowding. 151
Sarah Kay @k-interarma.bsky.social · 05/10/2026We are talking about minors, here.
