By far the largest of council services, education covers a broad range of functions that are responsible for the smooth running of learning establishments including schools, colleges, libraries and centres for those with special needs.
Teachers constitute almost half of employees within education. They are supported by classroom assistants, catering, administrative and clerical staff.
The development of a child is centred on teaching, however careers and social guidance are also important supporting elements and educational psychology departments have responsibility for those with learning and/or social difficulties.
A further range of employees is situated within the council offices providing a crucial support role. They are responsible for the organisation of services, welfare of employees and the promotion of activities and events.
