Revolutionary Communist Youth League (Bolshevik) - The Struggle For The Right To Education

The Struggle For The Right To Education

The RCYL(b) differentiates between the rich students, who are happy with capitalism and the poor students, whose interests are often similar to those of the working class.

The RCYL(b) runs the campaign to stop religious propaganda in schools and State-owned establishments.

In the city of Gorkii (a.k.a. Nizhnii Novgorod) the RCYL(b) has successfully set up a student union.

In the city of Orel, the RCYL(b) has held a manifestation called "Education for the rich" in the Autumn of 2005, in protest against the moves by Russia's government to put an end to free education.

Famous quotes containing the words struggle and/or education:

    Thus passes away all man’s life. Men seek rest in a struggle against difficulties; and when they have conquered these, rest becomes insufferable. For we think either of the misfortunes we have or of those that threaten us.
    Blaise Pascal (1623–1662)

    Quintilian [educational writer in Rome around A.D. 100] thought that the earliest years of the child’s life were crucial. Education should start earlier than age seven, within the family. It should not be so hard as to give the child an aversion to learning. Rather, these early lessons would take the form of play—that embryonic notion of kindergarten.
    C. John Sommerville (20th century)
