I have signed this petition and put it on Facebook. I really do not begin to understand what Michael Gove is trying to do. Teaching Assistants are the backbone in many schools,especially those with Special Needs pupils. They are invaluable and enable such schools to function at a high level.
Without them these schools could not possibly cope with all the needs of their pupils. They earn poor salaries but give every thing to the schools.
Please sign this petition for the sake of ALL your grandchildren.

Another of Michael Gove's ill thought out proposals is to remove teaching assistants from schools. If implemented, this would seriously impact on the ability of thousands of children to function within the educational system. Special needs children like my grandson benefit so much from their input.
