EMA For All!
Feb0
Those of you in further education especially will know about this one; EMA. Education Maintenance Allowance, or anything up to £30 per week for students turning up to all their lessons. Sadly, this money is only available to those students whose parents’ income is less than the boundary level. Since it’s a rather stupid thing to base how much money a student receives on how much their parents earn (None of which actually has to end up with the student), I would ask all of you in the UK who feel EMA should be available to all further education students to sign the following petition:

Sign by the 4th March 2007! Tell your friends!
Yes, it’s the Downing Street petitions website seen recently in the news in the midst of the road charging furore. Have fun!
