Scotland's teachers are being offered a 2% pay rise, well short of union demands for a 10% increase.
The proposal was submitted at the Scottish Negotiating Committee for Teachers (SCNT) - made up of unions, the Scottish government and councils.
It comes after one union warned that some of its members were turning to food banks to help make ends meet.
Teachers are among a number of public sector workers seeking pay rises to cover the increased cost of living.
