Cutting this figure by half may not be realistic in the short-term, but student protests may continue if measures are taken soon.

将这个数字减半短期内并不现实，但是如果不尽快采取措施，学生的抗议将持续下去。

Activists from last year's student protests, which saw tens of thousands take to the streets to oppose the rise in university tuition fees, have been mobilising for the protest for several weeks.

学生自去年的罢工就开始十分活跃，当时上万名学生挤到大街上反对大专院校学费的上涨。这次学生动员游行已经长达数周时间了。
