A teacher shortage in the north east of Scotland is leading to subjects being watered down or removed from the school curriculum entirely.
Every secondary school in Aberdeenshire is affected by teacher shortage, according to the council’s director of education and children’s services, Laurence Findlay.
One secondary school in Aberdeenshire, the survey shows, is operating with more than 12 unfilled teaching posts.
That secondary reported being down two maths teachers, two home economics teachers, two technological education teachers, an English teacher, a drama teacher, a biology teacher, a chemistry teacher, an additional support for learning teacher and a part-time modern languages teacher.
