The Educational Institute of Scotland said cuts by Glasgow City Council had already resulted in significant reductions in teacher numbers in the city.
Teachers in Glasgow have resoundingly opted for strike action, with a vast majority of 95% of the Education al Institute of Scotland members who participated in the vote showing support.
The EIS union has observed that these reductions by the council have already led to a noteworthy drop in teacher numbers and is urging the local authority to cease and reverse their cutbacks. The initial cuts enacted last year threaten the loss of up to 450 positions, with around 120 jobs being slashed during the previous year and around 300 trimmed this year, according to EIS.
"The impact of the cuts is already being felt in schools across Glasgow, within the region of 300 teaching posts having been removed already by the council." Join the Daily Record's WhatsApp community here and get the latest news sent straight to your messages.
