Pupils at a Midlothian secondary school have warned councillors cutting teaching jobs would have a ‘catastrophic’ impact on future generations of students.
The senior year from Lasswade High School are appealing to councillors not to push ahead with cuts of up to 174 teaching posts proposed for the next five years.
And in a letter to be put before councillors next week their school captains say the move would take away the opportunities they have been given from future generations of youngsters.
