| 151 | Gayle Rennie | This contradicts all plans to cut class sizes to 18 for Primary 1-3.
Also, why keep training more and more teachers every year if there won't be enough jobs for them in the end!
I believe people wouldn't mind a small increase in their council tax like every other year if this would sort the budget. |
| 152 | R Adamson | My son currently attends a country school. Being a composite class 1, 2, 3 and now with a number of different nationalities attending I cannot believe anyone is contemplating the reduction of teacher numbers. If anything they should be increased. |

| 158 | M Stockdale | What is the point in the goverment advertising for more teachers using the tax payers money, when the Highlands are planning on getting rid of them. Our children deserve a good education in classes that are not over crowded, teachers deserve better. |
| 159 | maureen henderson | When will the madness end and government realise that ALL children have a right to a good and fair education not just the families who can afford it. Instead of cutting money for education maybe some politicians should think about cutting their pay packets. Scotland was once world renowned for education but as with everything else it too will slip by the wayside.... |

| 165 | Colin Carr | These cuts would undermine and demoralise the excellent work done by overworked and under resourced teachers and support staff in the Highlands |

| 167 | Joan Lawson | Scottish schools are renown for their excellent, it would be a crime to cut the staff the pupils will suffer and there will not be the quality people for all the jobs scottish pupils fill in the world. |

| 171 | Alan Porteous | Class sizes were supposed to reduce not increase.
There is also too much pressure on teachers as it is. |

| 173 | Ceri Turner | I am on my probation year and am in need of a job come August 2008, as are many others. Cuts would mean that many of us who have come into teaching could have no jobs to go to. |

| 188 | terri rapson | i do not think schools should be cut education is at a minimum as it is an this will just cause children to take less intrest in schools which will stop them furthering their careers |

| 190 | Karen Shane | Children need the best education possible by closing schools this isnt the way to go about it. CHildren shouldndnt have to travel far to go to school this will be the case if this happenes |
| 191 | cynthia duncan | the education for our children is worse now than it was 30 years ago - i thought that we should be seeing progress but all i see is the education department cutting people in the bottom level who actually teach our children instead of the top of the tree and those you have fat cat wages!!!!!! |
| 192 | Anonymous | Highland are cutting the Schools Library Service - secondary school librarians will no longer be supported, resources to enhance topic work in primary schools will end, the Highland Children's Book Awards will cease! |
| 193 | Kirsti Sutherland | |
| 194 | Teresa Paul | I think the efficiency savings in Education in the Highlands is wrong. This will affect our children's education. These children are the Highland's future workforce and should be top priority to the Government. |

| 196 | Anonymous | I back the Highlands and Islands MSPs, Peter Peacock and Rhoda Grant, in opposing Highland Council's so-called efficiency savings in Education in the Highlands which could cost the area 50 teachers and the same again in support staff.
PLEASE NOTE - THIS IS ONE OFF SUPPORT AND I DO NOT WANT TO BE CONTACTED RE. POLITICS OR ANY OTHER PETITION. I ALSO DO NOT WANT TO BACK DAVID STEWART IN THIS AS HE DID NOT BACK H and I AGRICULTURE WHEN HE WAS AN MP - he let us down badly by following the party line set by the PM rather than attending to what is an important employer in H and I and important to the country in general as we more and more have to eat imported food because of the policy of these days. |
| 197 | Anonymous | No one likes to see local jobs cut but as MSPs voted to freeze Council tax the savings have to come from somewhere so take responsibility at Scottish level. |
