Scotland's teacher strikes suspended as union supports new pay offer

Scotland's largest teaching union has recommended its members accept the latest pay deal offered by councils and the Scottish Government.

The EIS has suspended all planned strike action and will ballot its members on the new deal, which would see teachers get a 12.3 per cent increase on their current rate.

Following intense discussions, the new offer would see teacher pay rise by £5,200 in April, and would bring to an end more than 12 months of dispute between teachers and their employers, which have seen a number of days lost to strike action.
