Is my child's secondary school closed on day two of strike action?

Educators are staging a second day of walkouts amid an ongoing dispute over pay with the Scottish Government and COSLA.

Secondary school teachers across Scotland have walked out of classrooms in the latest wave of strike action amid a long-running dispute over pay.

Members of the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS), NASUWT, Scottish Secondary Teachers’ Association and the Association of Headteachers and Deputes in Scotland are taking part in two days of industrial walkouts after negotiations with the Scottish Government and COSLA failed to reach an agreement.

Education secretary Shirley-Anne Sommerville said the two sides remained “some distance” apart in reaching a deal.

Teachers rejected the latest tabled offer by Holyrood, which featured a 6.85% uplift for the lowest paid members.

Primary teachers and those working with pupils with additional support needs staged pickets on Tuesday in the initial round of action.

Further strikes are expected at the end of January and start of February if the impasse cannot be breached.
