The Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) hit out after Glasgow City Council announced the measures as part of ?70m budget cuts in the next two years.

The cuts include merging and relocating specialist schools for children with learning difficulties and reducing support for learning teachers to save ?2.5m.

The councils also intends to replace teachers in nursery classes with child development officers, having one head across several nurseries and changing school timetables to save a further ?5m. School maintenance will be scaled back to save ?1.5m, after-hours clubs reduced for ?100,000 and increasing the cost of a school let for ?800,000.Larry Flanagan, general secretary of the EIS, said: "The continuing removal of teachers from nursery establishments means that young children are being denied the access to a teacher that was a key pre-election commitment for the Scottish Government."However, a council spokeswoman said: "The council's budgets are under intense pressure and the proposals are about protecting priority areas."
