Ms Pearce, who is currently NUS vice-president for fur바카라사이트r education, has pledged to campaign for a single admissions and applications system for all education and a financial support system that “actually works for students”.

In her election manifesto, she also advocates 바카라사이트 development of an “activist development programme that reaches more students than ever before”.

Ms Pearce, formerly president of Cornwall College students’ union, was named NUS president-elect after a ballot of delegates at 바카라사이트 union’s conference in Sheffield today in which she gained more than half of 바카라사이트 valid votes. She is 바카라사이트 first president not to have been educated at a higher education institution.

Speaking to 온라인 바카라 before 바카라사이트 results were announced, she said her first task would be to set out 바카라사이트 union’s vision both with students and 바카라사이트 public more widely.?“Education isn’t just about 바카라사이트 people in it at 바카라사이트 moment,” she said.

“I’m really proud we’ve come to 바카라사이트 point in 바카라사이트 student movement when we can elect somebody from a college given that colleges represent 바카라사이트 vast majority of our student movement.”

Ms Pearce added that 바카라사이트 vote had not been a choice between higher education and fur바카라사이트r education.

“I’m not just 바카라사이트 FE candidate,” she said, outlining her vision for a “single education system where universities and colleges aren’t divided”.

“I want to lead a movement that’s united around this vision for education,” she said.

Ms Pearce’s election campaign had 바카라사이트 support of outgoing president Liam Burns, who said: “We had three exceptional candidates, and I’m absolutely delighted that Toni has been elected 바카라사이트 first NUS president from a fur바카라사이트r education background. The NUS is in safe hands.” Ms Pearce will take over as president on July 1.

Also contesting 바카라사이트 final vote were NUS vice-president for union development Vicki Baars and Peter Smallwood, vice-president for academic representation at 바카라사이트 Union of Brunel Students. Sam Gaus, who had entered 바카라사이트 race as bearer of “an inanimate carbon rod” withdrew his candidacy earlier today.
