More than 30 schools in one Welsh local authority are making teachers redundant as they struggle to balance the books. Teachers affected said they felt “betrayed” and questioned whether education was a priority.
Rhondda Cynon Taf Council said around 15% of 115 schools are looking at cutting teachers. That equates to around 17 schools making teacher redundancies.
Teaching union Nasuwt said it understands around 15 teacher jobs will go and said the council should "hang its head in shame. The council blamed falling pupil numbers and cut backs after extra spending post-pandemic.
