Assistants let go
FOUR classroom assistants at controlled schools in the Western Education and Library Board (WELB) were made redundant over the past academic year, according to the Education Minister.
Across Northern Ireland 12 classroom assistants and 14 teachers were made redundant over the year until June 21.
None of the teachers let go were based in WELB.
