With the imminent departure of Tony Blair, all our attention has naturally turned to Prime Minister-in-waiting Gordon Brown. Groups from all sectors are now speaking out to try and influence the next leader of this country.
The National Union of Students (NUS) recently released a pamphlet listing five challenges to the new Prime Minister. They include challenges to make prescriptions, dental care and eye tests free for all student, to keep the interest on student loans linked to inflation and a call for an equal minimum wage. The focus of these challenges is not to be all encompassing but rather to achieve some quick wins at the beginning of Gordon Brown’s premiership that if implemented would make a real difference to the lives of students.
