Next week is the Education Week and it comes at a time when the campaign to protect teacher education is taking off. Socialist Organis. er asked student activists about the week's activities and how they thought we should be using the week to provide the basis for the next few month's campaigning.
Viv Whittle, sabbatical Manchester Area NUS says:
"In Manchester, where one college may be shut down completely, and another two merged, there will be a motorcade into town, leafleting and a march on Wednesday to a rally. We will use the rally to convince students and workers that the cuts can be stopped. We've really got to make sure that the teacher education cuts don't go through. That means drawing everybody in - school students, teachers, parents, NUPE as well as students unions."
NUS has backed a demo called by the unions of the London Polys where teacher education is being cut.
*National Education Week provides a focus" , says Ken Stratford, President of Thames Polytechnic, one of the colleces affected.

I resent having to spend an hour convincing fellow Labour Party members that we should make donations to strike funds, get students onto the picket lines, close Union buildings, fix up joint meetings and use the NUS paper to push for strike support.
