Pupils in Scotland will miss another two days of school as teachers walk out in a dispute over pay.
Andrea Bradley, the general secretary of the EIS, said members remained "absolutely resolute in their determination to secure a fair pay settlement" from the Scottish government and local authority employer Cosla.
But it was turned down by the EIS and the NASUWT union, whose members will also be on strike on Tuesday and Wednesday.But the Scottish government has repeatedly said demands for a 10% increase are "unaffordable".When teachers staged their first national strike since the 1980s in late November, few expected they would still be striking now.
Much depends now on when a new pay offer might be tabled and what it might be like. When one comes, will it be enough to get the EIS and the NASUWT to suspend action?Ms Bradley, of the EIS, said the latest two-day national strike was a "further clear signal that Scotland's teachers are not prepared to accept the deep real-terms pay cut that is being offered to them".
The schools targeted in specific areas last week face a further three days of action from 7 March if the dispute is not settled.Strike action has targeted the constituency of Education Secertary Shirley-Anne Somerville
