A local authority head of education has apologised after a clip of her appearing to dismiss music classes was widely shared online.
Linda McAulay-Griffiths told an East Ayrshire Council public meeting that she was “no really seeing the point of a wean knocking seven bells out of a glockenspiel”.
During the discussion last month – in relation to the development of the new Doon Valley Community Campus vocational centre – she said it would better for pupils to be working with tools instead.
Ms McAuley-Griffths said the remark had been misinterpreted and taken out of context, but that she apologised for the wording of her statement.
