Dear All, At Surrey we were part of the School of Education for some years but have fairly recently become separate again. What goes around, comes around. We are now both departments of the School of Arts (sic)!

Dear David I haven't been a science tutor for the OU, but I am currently a student! I'm two-thirds of the way through an MEd (Lifelong Learning) - hard work, but very interesting. As regards CE reorganisation, we in Aberystwyth are also being re-organised. The Centre for Continuing Education has just been merged with the Education Department, to form the 'School of Education and Lifelong Learning'. As far as I can see, the only thing that the two departments had in common was the word 'education' in their titles. I understand, however, that this sort of merger has happened elsewhere. Does anyone have any experience of this?

Dear All A question came up yesterday and I did not know the answer. Has any other University CE academic (apart from me) also worked as a part-time tutor for the Open University? If so, I would appreciate makeing contact. All the very best Hope all is going well with CE in your Uinversity. Having Mainstreamed CE in Bristol, the university is reviewing CE and many people here now think that perhaps it was not the best thing to do! Surprise, surprise! Any view on how to get out of this mess and get CE properly organised here - would be most greatful.
