Teachers are victims of the credit crunch as well.
RENFREWSHIRE council is to axe 81 school jobs, including 28 teachers, as part of £2.4 million worth of cuts.
Dozens of teachers, classroom assistants, admin staff, foreign language assistants and music tutors are to go.
This is according to the news.scotsman.com website.
Mr Mackay said:
The number of pupils in Renfrewshire’s 11 secondary and 51 primary schools has dropped by around 1,000 compared with 2007-8.
One of the reasons we have fewer teachers is that we have fewer pupils – it’s a simple equation.
Job losses = 81
