Scotland's largest teaching union has announced two more strike days in a dispute over pay.

The Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) said its members in primary schools will strike on 10 January.

This will be followed by strikes at secondary schools on 11 January. All EIS members are already due to strike on Thursday 24 November.

The union said employers had failed to make a new pay offer after a meeting on Thursday afternoon.

Teachers have been offered a 5% pay rise by local authority body Cosla but the teaching trade unions want 10% to reflect rising inflation.

The Scottish government has previously warned there is no more money to fund public sector pay rises.
