Teachers and parents concerned about the impact of reduced teacher numbers on Clare schools have been told that the government has little option but to explore the cutbacks.
A fifth of the county’s national schools are set to lose teachers this September on foot of measures announced in the budget, while local INTO officials warn that up to 60 Clare schools will be destabilized by the cuts.
Schools across Clare are being urged to attend a major meeting on the issue at the West County Hotel in Ennis this evening where they can raise their concerns with the county’s Oireachtas representatives.
