Schools are already struggling as it it! Is it because children do not vote that it is easier for the Highland Council to go ahead and dismiss the assitants??

They did not have the courtesy to inform them other than through the media and then published a warning to them not to oppose the council as it is against their terms of service. These classroom assistants do fantastic work and get paid an insulting salary. Get rid of one -sixth of that number, but make it some of the head Office deadweight, and the same money is saved.

Any short term finacial gain for the Council would soon be lost by the need to redeploy resources to fill the void left should CA's be lost to the Education system. The Councils own stats show that standards have improved since CA's were introduced. More LSA's are not the answer as they have a very different role.

It is disgraceful tax payers subsidise the relatively rich by having to make up the shortfall the discount creates whilst at the same time they are getting rid of such vital learning support. My own daughter was above average and l.s enabled her to reach her full potential - she went to school reading and had she not had a teacher to read at her level she would have spent a year completely bored.

They play a vital role in Gaelic language education & support, where the pupil/teacher ratio is already compromised, by giving the Inverness Gaelic Primary School the same ratios as that for English Medium when it is clear that there are greater demands made on the teaching staff, teaching in a 2nd language.
Surely education of our children for the future, should be of paramount importance
