Deputy First Minister and Perthshire North MSP John Swinney has told Perth and Kinross Council they should reinvest any wage savings as a result of the teachers’ strikes into study hubs for pupils hit by walkouts.
The teaching union EIS rejected the offer by the Scottish Government and COSLA for an 11.5 per cent pay rise over two years.
National strikes take place today (February 28), Wednesday, March 1 and again to target Mr Swinney’s constituency on March 7, 8 and 9.
