Two days of strike action affecting Stirling’s teachers will go ahead at the end of the month after a fresh pay offer was rejected by unions.
The latest offer made by the Scottish Government and COSLA would have seen teachers receive a six per cent rise in the current year and then a further 5.5 per cent increase from the beginning of the upcoming financial year in April.
However, both the EIS and NASUWT unions turned down the proposal, citing the need for teachers to be given a pay award that keeps up with pressures such as inflation - which currently sits at over 10 per cent.
