Teaching unions say they have received “very strong support” as they enter a second day of strike action which has closed schools in Lanarkshire and those across Scotland.
All of the county’s secondary schools are shut to pupils today – following Tuesday’s closure on the second day of term of every primary school and associated nursery class – as staff take action in their ongoing pay dispute.
Members of the EIS, NASUWT, SSTA and AHDS unions have all been taking part in the two days of action, which follow November’s historic first national teachers’ strike in four decades.
