Primary Principals are bitterly disappointed with the 5% cut in school funding.  However,  the most disturbing cuts are within the range of specialist teachers (English as a second language, resource teachers for travelers, visiting teachers for children with specific disabilities and other co-ordination posts).  Overall this plan will have a serious impact on the quality of children's learning, but especially on those from disadvantaged backgrounds or on children with special needs.  It will be impossible to deliver the current standard of education provision with the scale of these cut-backs.
