United Kingdom: Hounslow Council language service struck ‘dumb’ by job threat
United Kingdom: The jobs of up to 80 staff at Hounslow Language Service are under threat after councillors agreed they should withdraw almost 20% of its funding.
YourLocalGuardian notes that the service – which provides specialist support for over 7,000 schoolchildren from ethnic minorities in developing their English – has 105 teaching and management staff, of which 86 are qualified teachers and 19 are language assistants employed by the council.
