The STUC Congress backed teaching unions' call
for the resources to make reducing class sizes a
reality.
Smaller classes "can play a significant part
in improving pupil motivation and pupil behaviour,
as well as attainment", said the motion, as
it called for the Scottish Government commitments
to be backed by the funds.
And UNISON's Bob Revie reminded delegates that
the whole education team needed to be taken into
account, not just teaching staff.
"The resources needed to reduce class sizes
have implications for technicians, classroom assistants,
auxiliaries and other school staff. Increases in
resources have to cover all these groups as well",
warned Bob.
