Broaden eligibility for PAID placements

The issue

My name is Nariman a university student who had to abandon my dream of pursuing a master's degree because I couldn't afford to work unpaid for two years. This is not just my story, but the story of countless students across the globe who are forced to choose between their education and their financial stability.

Unpaid placements put an undue burden on students, especially those from low-income backgrounds. This makes it nearly impossible for less privileged students to take up these opportunities.

The current system limits diversity within various professional fields. It's time we acknowledge that all work has value and deserves fair compensation.

We urge them to provide fair wages for placements so that every student has an equal opportunity at success regardless of their financial background.

Please sign this petition if you believe in providing opportunities for all students irrespective of their economic status. Let us make higher education truly accessible!
