Young students are fighting back after being unfairly downgraded by the government, reports Shabbir Lakha.

Listen to what students and teachers had to say at yesterday’s protest outside Downing Street and the Department of Education:

Before you go

Counterfire is growing faster than ever before

We need to raise £20,000 as we are having to expand operations. We are moving to a bigger, better central office, upping our print run and distribution, buying a new printer, new computers and employing more staff.

Please give generously.
