Scottish schools shut as wave of rolling strike action begins

TEACHERS across Scotland are beginning 16 days of rolling strike action on Monday in a continuing dispute over pay.

Members of the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) union are taking industrial action, with teachers in two of Scotland’s 32 local authority areas walking out each day until February 6.

The first two councils affected are Glasgow, where all schools are shut on Monday, and East Lothian, where they are shut to all pupils except those taking preliminary exams that day.
