But at the same time, and I want to be clear, when I'm talking about tightening up Government spending I'm not talking about massive layoffs of teachers or huge wage decreases, I'm all for leaving the front-line alone.
The issues within the Education system cannot be resolved until Management, Administration and Union excesses are dealt with.
The Education system, like many other Government run systems, has become an unwieldy behemoth.

I think that hits the nail right on the head. No one wants to see less teachers, but these negotiations always seem to bring that up.
