The National Liberal Democrat Education Association is calling for Liberal Democrat MPs and peers to vote against the Bill and sign an online petition against it.
The LDEA's members include councillors, school and college governors, teachers and lecturers, and staff in children and young people's services.
A statement on the association's website says, 'The present Bill did not form part of the published coalition agreement. The Bill is wasteful of resources at a time when public expenditure is under extreme pressure, and does not meet the coalition's aim for a fairer society.'
Public sector union Unison and teaching unions are campaigning against the Academies Bill.
