Wednesday, August 6, 2003
Scottish local authorities employed 1,992 new non-teaching education staff - a category that includes classroom assistants working with children of all ages - in the year ending June 2002. The Joint Staffing Watch Survey: June 2002, published last week, revealed that the increase in non-teaching education staff accounted for nearly half of the year-on-year increase of 4,614 full-time staff working in Scottish local authorities, representing a 1.9 per cent increase between June 2001 and June 2002.
