Glasgow University – strike action by lecturers and students
Lecturers supported by students took strike action at Glasgow university over savage government cuts being pushed through the higher education sector. This is all gaining support for a one day strike across Britain and the British occupied north of Ireland to take place on 24 March.
At the same time, students at Edinburgh University occupied the human resources building in solidarity with the lecturers on strike at 8 Scottish universities, over attacks on their pensions. A march of 200 students also took place lunchtime in support of the strikers.

Teachers unions are planning to ballot for strike action over against a proposal to turn it into an academy.
Also three school students were excluded temporarily last week at John Port School, in Etwall, Derbyshire after they walked out with striking teachers who were striking over plans to turn the school into an academy. Governors backed plans to turn it in to an academy and it is set to become one on 1 April. Unions are threatening further strikes.
