Schools in Stirling closed their doors again yesterday as the national walkout over teachers’ pay rumbles on.
Picket lines were once again in place at the entrance to primaries and secondaries across the region, with the programme of rolling strikes organised by the EIS and other teaching unions impacting two local authority areas each day for a total of 16 days.
Alongside the picket lines, teachers also attended a rally at the Stirling Court Hotel on Tuesday morning, with around 100 in place to hear from local EIS representatives as well as the union’s current president, Andrene Bamford.
