Schoolchildren across Scotland are set to face further disruption as a teaching union has rejected the latest pay offer from the Scottish Government.
The deal, which is the fifth offer put to teachers, would have seen teachers who earn up to £80,000 given a 6 per cent pay boost backdated to April 2022 and a further 5.5 per cent from the start of the 2023 financial year, representing 11.5 per cent over two years.
But Andrea Bradley, the general secretary of the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS), dismissed the offer as "inadequate", and said the union's executive committee had "unanimously agreed that the current programme of strike action will continue as scheduled".
