The @eisunion.bsky.social has recommended members accept a two-year pay offer - details here. Ballot closes on Monday. www.tes.com/magazine/new...
EIS recommends members accept two-year pay offer
Accepting the teacher pay offer would lead to initial 4.25 per cent rise for Scottish teachers, followed by 3.25 per cent in second year

Following years of little tangible progress on the Scottish Government's commitment to reduce teachers' weekly class contact time to 21 hours, the EIS will open a statutory ballot on 12th November.

EIS staff and National ASN Network are wearing red today to show their support for colleagues stuck on short-term or temporary contracts. Precarity of contract is a significant problem for the teaching workforce in Scotland, particularly amongst recently qualified teachers. #SU4QE

Great to see so many teachers protesting about the scandalous lack of permanency and stability in teaching! They know it's bad for pupils, as well as for those trapped in insecurity.

A fantastic show of strength from @eisunion.bsky.social branch at Dunard Primary. Plus a show of solidarity from @unison.org.uk members. We need stability for our colleagues on temp contracts. This could be achieved through reduction of contact time - something promised by Government #SU4QE
