Scotlands schools face a critical test as demands for support for children with additional needs grow. Despite a slight increase in specialist teachers, the number of pupils requiring help has surged, with now 43% of all students needing extra support. This has doubled the workload for these teachers, with each handling up to 105 pupils. The Scottish Childrens Services Coalition warns that mainstream classrooms arent getting the necessary backup and urges political parties to prioritize funding for more specialist teachers, educational psychologists, and classroom assistants. Without additional resources, a generation of vulnerable kids could be left behind.
