SCHOOLS in Scotland are being hit by two days of disruption as 50,000 teachers and school heads strike over pay.
Primary schools were closed today and secondary schools will be shut tomorrow as members of the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS), the Scottish Secondary Teachers’ Association (SSTA), National Association of Schoolmasters/Union of Women Teachers (NASUWT) and the Association of Head Teachers and Deputies in Scotland (AHDS) took strike action.
The teachers have rejected a 5 per cent pay increase proposed by the Scottish government and are asking for a 10 per cent increase.
