School staff will walk out after failing to agree a pay deal with council and government leaders.
Scotland's biggest teaching union has announced 22 additional days of strikes amid a pay dispute.
EIS members have already taken three days of national strike action - one in November and two in January. "Scotland's teachers rejected a sub-inflationary 5% offer six months ago, and little or no progress has been made in negotiations since. Education Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville said: "Strikes in our schools are in no one's interest - including for pupils, parents and carers who have already had to deal with significant disruption over the past three years.
The EIS is giving plenty of notice of the next round of action. The new round of strikes will be nearly a month after the rolling round of regional strikes which begins on Monday comes to an end.
