Teachers
Scottish Parliament Written answers, 2 November 2009
Ms Wendy Alexander (Labour) | Question S3W-28031
To ask the Scottish Executive, in light of its funding to local authorities to maintain teacher numbers, whether it has concerns that the reduction in teacher numbers exceeds the proportionate fall in pupils in the Renfrewshire local authority area.
Keith Brown (Scottish National Party)
Yes, and these views have been expressed to both COSLA and Renfrewshire Council but we also acknowledge that Renfrewshire have still managed to reduce their average primary class sizes in order to benefit the teaching and learning of their primary pupils.
