Teachers have voted to accept the latest pay offer from local council employers - halting strike action and bringing their industrial dispute to an end.
Members of the Scottish Secondary Teachers’ Association (SSTA) voted 85.3% in favour of accepting the offer, with 14.7% rejecting it. Turnout was 79.9%.
Under the deal announced by Scottish Education Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville, teachers earning up to £80,000 will see their pay rise by 6% from April 2022, and then another 5.5% from the start of the 2023 financial year. A ballot of members of the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) – the largest teaching union in Scotland – is due to conclude on Friday.
