Teachers’ leaders have insisted they are “very sorry” for the disruption caused by strike action, as they warned there could be more walkouts to come without a “significantly improved” offer on pay.
Unions are demanding a 10% pay rise for teaching staff, with the dispute already having seen members of the EIS union - the largest body representing teachers in Scotland - go on strike next month.
Now two more unions are taking action, with members of the Scottish Secondary Teachers’ Association (SSTA) and the NASUWT union striking on Wednesday and Thursday.
