Students to Protest over planned EMA cuts

The video discusses the Education Maintenance Allowance (EMA), a financial support for students aged 16-18 from low-income households to help with education-related expenses. The allowance, introduced by the Labour government, is under threat of being scrapped by the coalition government, raising concerns about its impact on students' education choices. While some argue EMA is not well-targeted, others fear its removal will force students into unskilled jobs. The debate has sparked protests, highlighting the contentious nature of education funding cuts.
