It has been reported that almost 4000 teachers have been slashed from Scotland`s schools in the past seven years. Admittedly slashes have occured right across the board in Health and other departments due to the Westminster Government`s austerity measures.
What is surprising is that the Scottish Government, in the midst of these measures, that is the reduction of teachers, have insisted on pushing forward the most drastic upheaval in Scottish Education since records began: Curriculum for Excellence (CfE), a measure that has left teachers confused and that confusion is well documented.
As if that was not hard enough to understand, when the Scottish Government put forward plans to put more resources in the way of children, they did so by committing themselves to appointing 500 health visitors over the next few years, whose only remit is to carry out the statutory requirements of the named person. (GIRFEC snooping)
Parents want a good education for their children and there is no dispute about that. Since when did parents agree that `snooping health visitors` should have a priority over teachers?
They didn`t.
