The EIS held informal discussions with the Scottish government and Cosla in a bid to end the dispute.
Teachers' unions want a 10% pay increase but the Scottish government have repeatedly said their demands were "unaffordable".On Wednesday thousands of children across the country missed lessons as many schools were closed for the second day in a row as members of the EIS and NASUWT walked out in the latest national strike action.
"It would be for Cosla, as the employers, to make any revised offer and the Scottish government stands ready to support them to do that. Pupils in the constituencies of senior politicians have been worst affected. Targeted strike action by members of the EIS last week closed schools for three additional days.
The NASUWT has not announced any further strike dates, but Mike Corbett, its national official for Scotland, said there was "certainly potential" for more walkouts.The latest headlines from Scotland
