Teachers in strike ballot over lack of action to reduce ‘crippling’ workload

The EIS said teachers are being balloted for industrial action over ‘crippling’ workloads (PA) -

Teachers are to be balloted for strike action over their “crippling” workload, with union leaders insisting the Scottish Government and councils have “dithered” and “delayed” over plans to cut the time spent in classrooms.

The EIS said it had been “years” since the SNP made a manifesto pledge to reduce classroom time for teachers to a maximum of 21 hours a week.
