My perspective of the strike

       Since I was fourteen until the seventeen years old I though that a “strike” was just for vacations and one or two times at week, students went to broke and burn everything just for fun, because that’s what T.V shows us. But when I was 18 years old (the past year) I realized that this has a reason, an objective.

     We can see and listen to everybody talking about the “facilities for study” that the government gives us, but they don’t even mention the effort that it required. Nowadays the T.V only shows us the “gratuity”, but hey! It doesn’t mention that the government takes off some scholarship, grant (for example, bicentenary’s grant) and uses that money to fund the famous gratuity.

     Besides, the strikes are not vacations, I mean, there are a lot of activities that the students organize and the most of them are really committed to the cause. In addition, a student’s mobilization required a lot of time and an amazing organization.

   In general,the most important requirements of the “higher education’s reformare project“ are “universal gratuity”, “No more CAE”, “assurance of quality’s system”, “new acces's system and the end of the PSU”, among others.

  Now we have the other side of the coin, because the real level of allegiance to the strike is not the 100%, a large proportion of students just travel to their native cities, another part ain't agree to lose classes (curiosly, some of them are studying for free) and just a small part of the total of students is really committed to the cause.
