The leader of Edinburgh Council has said there are currently no plans to sack teachers as part of an £80 million cut to the capital's budget next month – but added “all options” were being considered.
It comes after leaked documents revealed more than 800 teaching staff could be axed in Glasgow as part of a "frightening" plan for £51m education cutbacks.
The news prompted calls from opposition councillors in Edinburgh for the Labour administration to "rule out cuts to our city’s schools".
