Conservative candidates for next month's council elections today highlighted their plans for education in a Conservative administration. Attacking Labour's failure on education, they highlighted the fact that if Conservative alternative budgets had been adopted schools would be £1.7million better off.
Conservative candidate for Stirling West Neil Benny said "Labour has cut spending time and again on Stirling's children, not only this £1.7million, but also on cleaning and other frontline services . So much for "Education, Education, Education".
Conservative candidate for Teith and Trossachs, Mary Kenyon, said, "It's terrible the way that Labour has treated education in Stirling, especially rural schools.
The threatened closure of Lochearnhead Primary should worry all parents in Stirling. The Labour administration has openly targeted all small, rural schools for possible closure. Only a Conservative administration can save rural schools."
Launching their plans for an education system with more independence for teachers and more money for frontline services, Cllr Alistair Berrill, Conservative Education spokesman and candidate for Forth and Endrick said, "the Conservatives can succeed where Labour has failed. We will deliver an education system that gives teachers the freedom to teach and puts pupils and their parents at the centre"
