MYP for Staffordshire, James Greenalgh, today launched huge "clouds" of pound symbols above Parliament in protest of the current cost of university.

James is currently one of twenty young people selected by Channel 4 as part of their Battlefront series, a channel 4 education project following young campaigners. James' fight against tuition fees is being documented in a programme to be aired on Channel 4 in May.

UK Youth Parliament released new figures today linking students' university choices to the recession.
