Primary and secondary schools across East Lothian have shut their doors today (January 16) amid ongoing disputes between teachers unions and the Scottish Government. And more strikes across Edinburgh are scheduled in the coming days.
It comes as teaching staff continue their fight for better pay, amid the cost of living crisis. Dispute continues, with the Scottish Government having stated that they cannot afford the desired 10 per cent increase.
Last week, schools shut across two days as primary schools closed on January 10, with secondary schools shut the day after on January 11.
