Fresh talks are taking place in a bid to end strike action by teachers over pay in Scotland.
The Scottish Negotiating Committee for Teachers, which brings together the Scottish Government, local authority leaders in Cosla and trades unions, is to meet on Friday.
However the EIS, Scotland’s largest teaching union, has insisted that its protests will continue until a “substantially improved” pay offer is received.
Unions have already rejected a deal that would see most teachers receive a 5% pay rise, though some lower earners would get a 6.85% increase.
