Students have descended on Westminster to lobby their elected representatives to vote against the proposals.
All Liberal Democrats signed individual pledges prior to the general election promising to vote against any increase in fees if they were elected as MPs.
Here are the planned student actions for today:
Lobby of Parliament – 1pm-3pm
Students from around the country are arranging to meet their MPs at Parliament to voice their opposition to the government’s plans.
For details of MPs who have agreed to meetings and to arrange interview with lobbyists contact NUS press office.
NUS/UCU Rally on Victoria Embankment – 1pm-3pm
An estimated 10,000 protesters will be gathering on Victoria Embankment to hear speeches from student representatives and representatives of all major trade unions.
The rally will include a ‘candlelit’ vigil around the time of the parliamentary vote.
The rally is due to be joined by a protest march that will have gone through central London.
Aaron Porter, president of the National Union of Students, urged MPs to "do the honourable thing and vote down these damaging proposals".
"Students are now descending on Westminster to ensure that promises to voters are kept and they are not sold down the river."
