flag Scottish teachers strike over unmet workload promise, causing school closures in six areas starting March 16.

flag Scottish teachers in six council areas, including Glasgow, Fife, Dundee, Moray, East Renfrewshire, and Perth and Kinross, are set to strike over workload concerns, with school closures expected on multiple dates starting March 16. flag The strikes follow a failed promise to reduce teaching hours from 22 to 21.5 per week, and are backed by an 85% vote in favor by the Educational Institute of Scotland. flag Closures are planned for March 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, and 25, with councils warning of widespread disruptions, especially during exams. flag While talks continue, no resolution has been reached, and further industrial action is underway.
