flag Scottish teachers, 85% voting for strike, demand action on workloads and unfulfilled hiring promises.

flag Scottish teachers have voted 85% in favor of strike action over excessive workloads, with a 60% turnout, following unfulfilled promises by the Scottish government to hire 3,500 teachers, reduce class contact time to 21 hours per week, and end zero-hours contracts. flag The Scottish Education Union (EIS) called the result a clear mandate, citing five years of unmet commitments. flag Union leaders urged immediate negotiations with the government and local authorities, represented by Cosla, which warned that workload reforms require full funding and could harm students if implemented without proper planning. flag The dispute coincides with the Holyrood election campaign, drawing criticism from opposition parties over broken promises.
