Schools across Scotland are getting hit by strike action this week as members from two teachers' unions walk out.
The strikes being staged by the Scottish Secondary Teachers' Association (SSTA) and the NASUWT union come just two weeks after a similar protest by the EIS – Scotland's largest teaching union when almost all schools in the country were forced to shut on November 24.
This wave of strike action is "unlikely" to have the same impact, a third of councils expect "significant" disruption. The strikes this week will mainly affect secondary schools, although some primary schools will be affected.
