Teach-outs aplenty

We are happy to announce that the schedule for Week 1 of our Strike School is now available on the Strike School page.

But what do you do if you've got an itch for learning that the Strike School won't scratch? Fear not, our colleagues at the Institute of Education over on Bedford Way have a full programme of morning activities you can attend in addition to the Chandler House Strike School!

Not only that, but you can follow @UCL_UCU on Twitter as they report on all teach-outs around the university.
