Teachers across Scotland will hold a second day of strike action this week in a dispute over pay.

NASUWT Scotland and the Scottish Secondary Teachers Association (SSTA) have downed tools over what they say was a “divisive and inadequate” pay offer.

Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) members working in schools went on strike last week, closing the majority of schools across Scotland.

Most secondary schools affected are partially closed this week, with many asking senior pupils to attend as normal.

The SSTA says the Scottish Government has failed to make contact since November 22 to avert further strikes this week.
