Congress vows to fight Glasgow education cuts
THE STUC has rallied behind pupils, teachers and communities fighting swingeing education cuts in Glasgow.
The SNP-led Glasgow City Council has proposed slashing more than £100 million from services in the city over the next three years, and joined forces with the Greens to pass a budget that cut more than £30m from the city’s schools over the same period.
Just days later, the council began a consultation with teaching unions on plans to axe a staggering 450 teaching posts — between 8 and 9 per cent of the teaching workforce — over three years, with 172 to go this year alone.
