On Feb. 25, Albarn will be one of the lobbyists to go before Parliament to speak out against the British government's proposed abolishment of student grants. England wants to introduce tuition fees and have people start paying for their education.
Albarn has not been shy about voicing his opinion in the past.
NME repoted that he said: "Abolishing grants and imposing
tuition fees means that people from the poorest backgrounds will
leave education with huge debts and many more will be deterred from
becoming students. It's all very well saying that people who
benefit from education should pay for it, but everyone benefits
from a well-educated population just like they benefit from the
health service."
