flag Scottish teachers vote on strikes over workload and unmet pledge to cut class time to 21 hours.

flag Teachers in Scotland are being balloted on potential strike action due to unsustainable workloads, with the EIS union citing insufficient class contact time and excessive out-of-hours work, especially amid rising student needs. flag The dispute centers on the Scottish Government’s unfulfilled 2021 pledge to reduce teacher contact time to 21 hours per week. flag The EIS has launched a statutory ballot for both strike and alternative action, urging members to vote "yes" to pressure the government and local authorities. flag The Scottish Government expressed disappointment but reiterated its commitment to reducing contact time and improving conditions. flag The outcome could influence the upcoming Holyrood election.
