SCHOOL pupils will miss lessons this week as teachers walk out after last-ditch talks between Scottish Government officials and teaching unions failed to prevent strike action.
Union members at Scottish primary schools will go on strike on Tuesday, with staff at secondary schools walking out the day after as teaching unions seek higher pay.
A meeting of the Scottish Negotiating Committee for Teachers (SNCT), which brings together unions, local authorities and the Scottish Government, took place on Monday in an attempt to avert the strikes.
