speech of students on the formation of strike-demo in Augsburg at 17:06:09
What are we here? And what is the point that we gather here today and many people in other cities and demonstrate?
Many a time have it after demonstrations questions like "How was` s? "or" Did `s what brought?".
often seem the expectations and goals of a demonstration not to be clear, many are hoping for too much. Those who expect nothing, do not go out more often after they are frustrated by the demonstrations that have brought so all nothing.
A demonstration is not a legislative legislative act, where laws were passed.
A demonstration with, but deal with the political will and public opinion, she has the social intelligence to the target. Therefore, it is also in the public and the media also needs to include public and verbreitetet be.
The company about deficiencies in the education sector and their socio-economic causes explain the reason why we are here today.
, if your protest will subsumed in a single demonstration, misunderstand the political process to the public and the parties. If we claim
demonstrations bring anything, so misunderstand what is a demonstration.
If you look on the other hand, as reported in a few states introduced tuition fees, namely 6, and how much the theme of "education" the public how the media politicized, then we see, what to bring lasting and persistent protest demonstrations.
It can probably go at a demonstration in front of just about everything to create themselves and educate others, and critical political awareness.
I want you now say something about the impact of the changes in higher education to ourselves, as is changing our concept of studying.
why I want something to tuition fees, saying the Bologna process and student participation.
are through student fees, we become customers who have an alleged claim on their product "education" and this can allegedly claim. But what we can really claim that we should now have noticed, namely nothing.
The Positive the customer is left behind but everything negative we find in ourselves As we have become customers, the formation has lost its freedom. We buy a product. We can only realize itself, to our financial statements for us to increasingly biographical capital.
university education had indeed always been the purpose of vocational training, but the special of the current restructuring is that we have while we form ourselves reify. What I mean is that our study achieved the certificate and this certificate for us and for the labor market, our education. We are not training us to self-determination and solidarity, not make our criticism and reflection skills. We are for compliance. The increase of human capital of the individual, in short, our market value is what is left of our education. The Company & industry needs viable exploitable human resources and by taking over these goals, we just make us even for the material that has to work for the purpose of profit maximization.
The Bologna process and its continuous review of the presence and power of the pressure, we perpetuate the principle of efficiency and competition at the university. In our competitive society where we see our education system is leading us. The welfare state is dismantled and replaced by a society of competition. We are going to adapt to the new Conditions. We are to help the site to its former glory Germany compete in the global market. Not because Germany is a good country for the people who live there is we will help him to obtain. We are to keep Germany competitive, so that the flow of capital flows and the location is particularly promising. We are the idiots that their knowledge as a product and product ourselves and we do not alienate me know it all feel better, but so does the cash register.
It threatens us, that we no longer believe in the good state is the country where there are people doing well, but the one who wins the competition.
Our little level of participation we fall into the trap of social partnership. We can help determine, but must remain überstimmbar, so we must share everything but have no real destination possibility.
By 1974, however, had students in quadripartite bodies occupied significantly more say, until the cabbage in the era of "reworked" was.
This creates the illusion that protests would not be necessary, but the direct route as we can go on the bodies and still nothing changes. At the same time we draw our own students in the branches of the responsibility to enforce our wishes and that necessity, we disempower ourselves
We rely on our participation in bodies that do not is. We give our votes in the general election, we give them off at regional and local elections. Do we have as well at the university, we no voice with which we can take to the streets and demand our rights. This is not a call to boycott elections, which is a call to vote but to keep his voice. Our representatives are there to represent us and not to substitute our political consciousness! If we can speak our voices together we are heard. If we can give them each a few they ignore.
Together we are stronger than alone! So let's protest together. Not only here, not just today. But for now: If we bring the protest to the streets!
