Staff are preparing to walkout of Scottish primary schools on Tuesday and secondary schools the day after
Parents could be forced to keep their children at home later this week if Monday’s last-ditch talks between Scottish Government officials and teaching unions fail to prevent strikes shutting down schools.
Discussions on Friday between the two sides were hailed as “constructive and helpful” by Shirley-Anne Somerville, Scotland’s Education Secretary, and talks are set to continue on Monday just hours before walkouts are set to take place. The current offer on the table would see most staff in classrooms receive a 5% pay rise, although the lowest-earning teachers would get a 6.85% increase.The Education Secretary said she is “open to considering options to resolve this dispute” but “any deal must be fair and affordable for all concerned, given the unprecedented pressures facing Scotland’s budget”.
