Schools across Perth and Kinross were closed yesterday in what was the first day of national strike action for teachers over a pay dispute in nearly 40 years.
And further industrial action could take place in December according to Scotland’s largest teachers’ union, the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS).
Picket lines were visible outside local schools – including Crieff High, Robert Douglas Memorial, Moncreiffe Primary, Perth Grammar, Perth Academy and Perth High – as well as the council’s headquarters at 2 High Street.
