Ecuadorean students from public and private universities staged a protest Monday in the capital city of Quito against the government’s new budget State General Budget (SGB) for 2019 which seeks to cut funds in education. The austerity measures come in a series of moves by the current government to promote what students deem neoliberal policies.
Hundreds of students from more than a dozen Universities, belonging to the FEUE, the Federation of Students from Private Universities (FEUPE, for its acronym in Spanish), and the Federation of Polytechnic Students (FEPE, for its acronym in Spanish) gathered in front of the largest university, Universidad Central and started their march from there.
