Scotland’s Education Secretary has said it is for teaching unions to suspend strikes ahead of the exam period to ensure there is no disruption.
Teachers have been in dispute with councils and the Government in recent months, with a two-week rolling period of walkouts due to finish on Monday and more action planned.
Speaking to the BBC on Sunday, Shirley-Anne Somverville said the two sides were still “some way apart”, with the latest offer amounting to a 5% increase but unions asking for 10%.
