demonstration">demonstrations</a> in November and December 2010 that took place in several areas of the country, with the focal point of protests being in <a href="/wiki/Central_London" title="Central London">central London</a>. Largely student-led, the protests were held in opposition to planned spending cuts to <a href="/wiki/Further_education" title="Further education">further education</a> and an increase of the cap on <a href="/wiki/Tuition_fees_in_the_United_Kingdom" title="Tuition fees in the United Kingdom">tuition fees</a> by the <a href="/wiki/Cameron%E2%80%93Clegg_coalition" title="Cameron–Clegg coalition">Conservative–Liberal Democrat coalition government</a> following their <a href="/wiki/Browne_Review" title="Browne Review">review into higher education funding</a> in England. Student groups said that the intended cuts to education were excessive, would damage higher education, give students higher debts, and broke campaign promises made by politicians. </p><p>The first major demonstration occurred on 10 November, jointly organised by the <a href="/wiki/National_Union_of_Students_(United_Kingdom)" title="National Union of Students (United Kingdom)">National Union of Students</a> (NUS) and the <a href="/wiki/University_and_College_Union" title="University and College Union">University and College Union</a> (UCU). It involved between 30,000 and 50,000 demonstrators marching through central London, with several hundred branching off to attack and occupy the Conservative Party headquarters. This measure brought condemnation from the establishment and a divide within the student movement over the appropriateness of such tactics. The <a href="/wiki/National_Campaign_Against_Fees_and_Cuts" title="National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts">National Campaign Against Fees and Cuts</a> (NCAFC) called for a mass walk-out and demonstration on 24 November, with occupations taking place at campuses throughout the UK. A march in central London was <a href="/wiki/Kettling" title="Kettling">kettled</a> in <a href="/wiki/Whitehall" title="Whitehall">Whitehall</a>, resulting in violent confrontation with protesters. Further demonstrations were held in central London on 30 November, when police clashed with protesters and kettled them in <a href="/wiki/Trafalgar_Square" title="Trafalgar Square">Trafalgar Square</a>, while other protests took place throughout the country. Another central London protest took place on 9 December, the day that the proposed reforms were passed into law, with protesters clashing with police and being kettled in <a href="/wiki/Parliament_Square" title="Parliament Square">Parliament Square</a>. </p><p>The student protests were unsuccessful in their aim of preventing the government's reforms in England. However, in Wales and Northern Ireland, devolved authorities decided not to increase the fees, which led to differing fee levels for the devolved nations.<sup id="cite_ref-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-1"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2"><span class="cite-bracket">&#91;</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">&#93;</span></a></sup> The demonstrations were highly controversial in the UK, being condemned for instances of violence and vandalism by both the establishment and by protestors.
