LAST Saturday's National Union of Students demonstration which was coordina ted to tie in with the Greater London Council's campaign to stay in existence, was quite a success.
Thousands of students were on the demonstration, with support from right across the spectrum of higher and further education.
The biggest contingents were from colleges hardest hit by the cuts or whose student unions are most under threat from their administrations.
Warwick University brought 600 students and Bradford University also had a large contingent.
The GLC's campaign, how ever, did not get across very well - the student issues and the campaign to preserve local democracy were not linked properly.
As more and more youth - especially in the FE sector. who are hit hardest by local government cuts - look for real answers to the problems of youth education and unemployment, the traditional NUS "day out" appears as being elitist (dominated by universities) and increasingly ineffective.
