TPPA’s negative impact on education worrying students

COMMENT On Nov 18, 2015, Bantah TPPA issued a statement highlighting that the copyright provision contained within the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement (TPPA) would have a negative impact on education. We, students of local public and private universities, are very concerned by this revelation.

Based on preliminary analysis by the Bantah TPPA research team, the copyright clause will make it difficult for us to obtain affordable access to educational resource and publications such as journals and books. This situation will dampen our enthusiasm in seeking knowledge and will make it difficult for us to make an effective contribution to the country’s development.

The government has to realise that education is a fundamental need, and should be accessible to every person in this world.
