A survey of Scotland's teachers has highlighted dissatisfaction in workload and pay amidst the ongoing cost of living crisis.
The survey, conducted by Scotland's largest teaching union the EIS, saw just shy of 16,500 teachers take part.
Only 15% of teachers in Scotland are satisfied with their current workload levels. This is alongside 98% of teachers who say they work above their contracted hours each week.
Commenting, EIS General Secretary Andrea Bradley said: “This major survey of Scotland’s teachers provides a stark warning of the current situation in Scottish education.
"Teachers are facing significant stress from both their soaring levels of workload and, also, from the cost-of-living crisis which has impacted on teachers personally, especially as they awaited a much-needed pay rise, and on our schools and the young people in our classrooms.
"The scarcity of support for pupils with additional support needs is compounding the stress on school staff, in addition to damaging the educational experiences of the young people concerned, including with regards to behaviour.”
