AGM -Student Membership Report

The annual Fresher’s Fair was held at Chichester University on 23rd September 2008. Including this, a GTP meeting on 21st September and the Teaching Fair on 23rd October we recruited 289 student members.

A recent article in the Teacher magazine reported a very successful inaugural meeting of NUT student members at Winchester University. The executive has been contacted by a student at Chichester with a view to starting up a similar group there. The WSTA has agreed to support the group by helping with funding and input from our officers. We have also agreed to try and recruit a student member this year to join our delegation at the Education Conference in the summer. These developments will develop and strengthen our relationship with our student members who will be the teaching force members of the future.

My thanks go to Dave Thomas for his help and support recruiting at Fresher’s Fair and to Patrick Ginnelly from the regional office who attended all of the recruitment sessions on our behalf.
