Fewer Teachers

The EIS teaching union has claimed that cuts in staff are making it harder to deal with bad behaviour in schools. 'The union blames falling teacher numbers, support staff cuts and falling numbers of educational psychologists. One particular concern is that pupils who might be better suited to special schools are remaining in mainstream schools without appropriate support.' (BBC News, 2nd January)  Just another example of what capitalism's priorities are when it comes to education budgets. RD
