Teacher’s attacks to cut jobs stopped as council

The strike by teachers in Glasgow has been suspended after talks between unions and city councils.

Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) Shikshan Association Were to get out on 20 February Until the ongoing education cuts were stopped and not reversed.

The BBC Scotland News realizes that the local authority has now agreed to remove the second and third year of deduction from next week’s budget, with EIS optimistic it can reverse the loss of job which has already been done.

The Glasgow City Council (GCC) originally planned to ax 450 posts over a period of three years as part of a savings drive, with about 120 roles already screened.

EIS first argued Cuts will harm teaching standards And make a huge charge for the employees.

A union source told the BBC Scotland News: “We are going to see what the budget says next week, but by the time they can get it, the cuts for two years will be removed from two and all three will be removed from all three and all three will be removed. .

“We are still hoping to achieve the cuts that they have already reversed.”

SNP KC, a letter sent by the councilor in charge of the workforce to the union says that £ 17M teachers will be found elsewhere to cover.

Clar Casey wrote: “We will find £ 17m in two years to fund it. I hope you will agree that it represents an important commitment for our teaching workforce and quality of education in the city. That will be a welcome news for you.

Clar Casey also stated that additional funds from the Scottish government would be used to increase the number of teachers in the city, and the SNPs would return the proposal.

The Sangh will have a mandate to go on strike again within six months if it seems that the cut is being resumed or the budget is not going to be passed.

However, the size of the SNP group means that it is unlikely to fail.

The GCC had earlier said that no teacher in permanent jobs would be meaningless and this savings would not come from not filling the vacant posts or reducing employees on temporary contracts.

Local authority said

Last year, Education Secretary Jenny Gillruth revealed that he did not allow £ 145.5m that was kept separate to maintain the teacher number paid to the councils.

This was because something – including Glasgow – cut the teacher number.

However, in December, the Kosla and the Scottish government signed an official agreement to maintain teacher number and freeze hours of learning.

Parents argued the proposed cut Additional assistance needs and people living in poverty will affect children unevenly.

Council has been approached for comment.
