Edinburgh teachers are set for further strike action after a teaching union announced an extra 22 days of industrial action.
This will be on top of the previously announced 16-day programme of rolling strike action, set to begin in schools across the country next week. As a deal was not met in the latest round of talks this week, Edinburgh schools will close on Wednesday January 25.
After a meeting on Friday (January 13), the EIS Executive Committee agreed on a programme of additional strike action that will include two days of national strike action in all schools and sectors on February 28 and March 1. This will be followed by a rolling programme of strikes for 20 days between 13 March and 21 April.
