1) Today, Jenny Gilruth stated that ‘her team’ had tried to organise a meeting with us several times.

🚨We FOI’d every Scottish council to find out how many teachers are on supply contracts. Here’s what we found:
2017: 6,052
2018: 6,563
2019: 6,648
2020: 7,137
2021: 8,800
2022: 10,583
2023: 11,027
2024: 11,145
That’s an 84% rise since 2017.
