- I prefer more teachers, not fewer, says Sturgeon amid reports of cuts in Glasgow
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said she would prefer to have “more teachers, not fewer”, amid reports 800 could be cut in Glasgow to save money.
The Daily Record, reporting on a leaked document on Thursday, said SNP-run Glasgow City Council is also considering shutting primary schools early on Fridays in a bid to save £51 million from its education budget.Teaching unions said they are “desperately worried” about the proposals, warning they would have a detrimental impact on the city’s young people.Glasgow City Council is facing a £68 million shortfall for the year ahead and will set its budget next month.
The document seen by the newspaper says £22.5 million could be saved by revising the way primary and secondary schools are staffed, which would affect pupil/teacher ratios and lead to many more composite classes, with 397 teaching posts affected.A proposal to cut the number of teachers by closing schools early on Fridays, affecting 324 roles, would save £18.5 million.If all the options for cuts came into force, around 800 teaching posts would be at risk, as would the roles of more than 100 “support for learning” staff, the Daily Record reported.When confronted about the leak during First Minister’s Questions by Scottish Conservative leader Douglas Ross, Ms Sturgeon sought to downplay it.

Tory council most of the toilets are shut here in Scottish borders,we could save money by stopping this little yip and his junta attacking countries,
Maybe we stop him speaking by bringing in actors.
@Tony look at your England attacking 181 countries first
For saving billions! human life matters.
Flip flop dross, doesn't have a clue.
England have Rishi and Scotland have Ross 🤦🏻♀️
The nutter twins!
Scottish Tories,poor opposition🏴
The proof in Mrs Sturgeon’s statement that extra money will be available for the hiring of new teachers will be exposed next year if the SNP are still here. I hope that someone has the foresight to make sure they bring up the subject again in a year and confront her with her claim. I doubt though that she will be able to attract people into the profession because of poor pay and conditions. The woman fails at everything it’s a good job she doesn’t gamble.
Do you think the Tories are doing any better?
Do you have children in the education system in Scotland??
@@qw1205 I haven’t heard that the U.K. government have gotten ride of 900 teachers and is planning to cut more? Maybe you can explain why they are redirecting tax money into overseas so called trade embassies which apparently don’t actually generate trade?
The fact she was called out for the fact council’s are planning to cut the funding for schools but didn’t deny it says everything. Then she suddenly remembers they are giving more funding to find new teachers which is just bizarre why didn’t she say this at the beginning. Unless you know of course that the reason is that they want to exploit teachers by putting them on zero hour contracts which is what they do when they hire new teachers for the first year then it makes sense.
I see the usual Tory trolls have been commenting 😂
The quicker she goes away the better for Scotland👍🏻
Quicker you go,we’ll get peace🏴🏴🏴
@@gerrypowell2748 you are just another disciple that doesn't care about the safety of the woman or of confused teenagers who get surgically mutilated and end up on medication for the rest of their lives👍🏻 if that's the kind of policies you support by supporting her then what does that say about you as a person🤔😕
P.S if you are confused then that is the gender bill I am referring to🤮
@@campbell3711 man your sick,stop reading the Sun newspaper and listening to GBNEWS,if you ever wake up and investigate sexual crimes against women,you will discover it’s within the family,this bill was passed by a vast majority of our MSPs after a prolonged debate,who were voted in by astute Scots,you are not one of them,get back in your box👹👹👹
@@gerrypowell2748 what the fuck are you on about😂😂 so sexual crimes only happen within the family?? Why were there so many women protesting against it? Have you actually read the bill?? It is funny how you haven't mentioned teenagers being able to get surgery😕 or taking power away from the parents the list goes on, I don't listen to gbnews🙄 it isn't hard to do research maybe for people like you that are ok with a woman being in danger which is suspicious tbh says a lot about you. Everything I have said is facts😊👍🏻 at least be well-versed on the matters before coming online and just looking silly🤭
@@campbell3711 mate your talking shite,go away and be educated😘
always tell when she is lying her lips move
*he, his.
The fatter he gets the dumber he gets. Does the plank not understand that his disgusting party is to blame? Can the turncoat just f off to England?. - Can you?
