P
REFACE
 
The
 
Norwegian
 
Students’
 
and
 
Academics’
 
International
 
Assistance
 
Fund
 
(SAIH)
 
has
 
since
 
1961
 
 been
 
concerned
 
with
 
the
 
role
 
of
 
higher
 
education
 
and
 
students
 
in
 
processes
 
of
 
change
 
and
 
development.
 
We
 
are
 
a
 
student
 
run
 
organization,
 
and
 
our
 
motto
 
is
 
“Education
 
for
 
Liberation”.
 
SAIH’s
 
main
 
objective
 
is
 
to
 
contribute
 
in
 
such
 
a
 
manner
 
that
 
as
 
many
 
people
 
as
 
possible
 
may
 
obtain
 
an
 
education
 
on
 
their
 
own
 
terms
 
and
 
that
 
marginalized
 
groups
 
get
 
to
 
influence
 
their
 
own
 
situation
 
and
 
their
 
society.
 
Students
 
as
 
a
 
group
 
are
 
in
 
some
 
ways
 
a
 
privileged
 
group,
 
 but
 
it
 
is
 
also
 
important
 
to
 
remember
 
that
 
students
 
often
 
find
 
themselves
 
in
 
difficult
 
positions
 
 because
 
of
 
their
 
role
 
as
 
potential
 
agents
 
of
 
change
 
in
 
their
 
communities,
 
as
 
critical
 
and
 
independent
 
thinkers.
 
Historically,
 
students
 
and
 
academics
 
have
 
played
 
a
 
decisive
 
role
 
in
 
political
 
change
 
and
 
have
 
worked
 
for
 
democratic
 
governance.
 
They
 
are
 
 because
 
of
 
this
 
often
 
seen,
 
not
 
to
 
mention
 
treated,
 
as
 
a
 
threat
 
 by
 
the
 
government.
 
SAIH
 
 believes
 
that
 
a
 
good
 
system
 
of
 
higher
 
education
 
strengthens
 
the
 
education
 
system
 
as
 
a
 
whole,
 
is
 
crucial
 
for
 
the
 
economical
 
and
 
social
 
development
 
of
 
a
 
country,
 
and
 
contributes
 
to
 
democracy
 
and
 
participation.
 
In
 
order
 
to
 
ensure
 
that
 
students
 
maintain
 
their
 
important
 
role
 
in
 
society,
 
academic
 
freedom
 
is
 
crucial.
 
As
 
a
 
solidarity
 
organization,
 
SAIH
 
works
 
with
 
students
 
in
 
different
 
parts
 
of
 
the
 
world
 
and
 
tries
 
to
 
put
 
the
 
spotlight
 
on
 
situations
 
where
 
freedom
 
of
 
speech,
 
freedom
 
of
 
assembly
 
and
 
human
 
rights
 
in
 
general
 
are
 
 being
 
violated
 
in
 
order
 
to
 
oppress
 
the
 
voices
 
of
 
the
 
people.
 
ACEU’s
 
report,
 
which
 
was
 
conducted
 
in
 
Colombia
 
with
 
the
 
financial
 
support
 
of
 
SAIH,
 
illustrates
 
the
 
acute
 
human
 
rights
 
situation
 
for
 
students,
 
and
 
we
 
hope
 
that
 
students,
 
academics
 
and
 
policy
 
makers
 
in
 
Norway
 
can
 
contribute
 
to
 
change
 
the
 
situation
 
for
 
the
 
Colombian
 
students
 
who
 
experience
 
these
 
human
 
rights
 
abuses
 
and
 
have
 
had
 
their
 
freedom
 
taken
 
from
 
them.
 
Norwegian
 
students
 
and
 
academics
 
must
 
respond
 
to
 
their
 
global
 
colleagues’
 
and
 
fellow
‐
students’
 
precarious
 
situation
 
 by
 
getting
 
involved
 
in,
 
and
 
promoting,
 
human
 
rights,
 
academic
 
freedom
 
and
 
independence
 
as
 
important
 
values.

I believe the greening of the industrial world may have most dire effects on the poorer nations and the Communist nations. Check my fictional work FARM LIFE.
