The Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) announced a strike at schools in Scotland's biggest city.
Teachers in Glasgow are to go on strike later this month in a row over cuts to education services, a union has said.
The EIS said earlier this week that 95 per cent of members had voted to back strike action. It said it is now likely the majority of the city’s schools will close for the day. “EIS members across Glasgow remain resolute and determined to fight these destructive and dangerous cutbacks by the council, which are damaging education provision in Glasgow and causing irreparable harm to the learning experience of thousands of young people in Glasgow’s schools.
“This is about the future of education in Glasgow, and protecting the futures of many thousands of young people – both those currently within the Glasgow school system and also those that will follow in the years ahead. “The council must listen to pupils, parents, carers and teachers, halt its programme of damaging cuts and re-commit to working with the EIS and Glasgow’s teaching professionals to deliver a better future for all the young people of Glasgow.”
