The First Minister made the comments amid reports that 800 teaching jobs could be cut in Glasgow in a bid to save money as well as Glasgow City Council considering shutting primary schools.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said she would prefer to have "more teachers, not fewer", amid reports 800 could be cut in Glasgow to save money.
A proposal to cut the number of teachers by closing schools early on Fridays, affecting 324 roles, would save £18.5 million. "I think the official report of Parliament will be littered with examples of what I've just spoken about."Councils of course are autonomous in their areas of responsibility, something that parties across this chamber often call on the Scottish Government to respect.
The First Minister said the Scottish Government has provided a real terms increase of £160 million for local government in the budget. "Eight hundred jobs is about 12% of the teachers in a city where young people already have some of the highest challenges to overcome to progress in their lives."
