Teachers at risk under cuts

NEARLY 90 teaching jobs could be axed under controversial budget cuts by Glasgow City Council, union leaders have warned.

The Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) said cuts of £16 million would see some 60 primary posts under threat as a result of a restructuring.

In addition, 20 staff who specialise in teaching pupils with additional support needs such as autism and 10 teachers who deal with pupils whose first language is not English could also go.
