The cuts 'will affect some of our most vulnerable children in the city'

Glasgow City Council must reverse planned cuts to its education department if it is “serious about closing the attainment gap” and “helping those in most need”, a union has said.

A council spokeswoman said education has the “biggest budget” and was “protected in relative terms in comparison to other services” to safeguard learning and teaching. Ms Haughney said: “There is no greater duty on education services than to address the needs of those missing children from our schools. These home school support workers are a key route to positive destinations for those who otherwise fall far short of their potential.

Glasgow Conservative MSP Annie Wells said the savings will “affect some of our most vulnerable children in the city as well as seeing close to 30 people losing their jobs during a cost-of-living crisis”.
