Members of Scotland’s largest teaching union have voted to accept a pay deal and have called off strikes.
Teachers with the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) backed a deal which will see a 7 per cent pay rise backdated to April 2022, a further 5 per cent next month, and another 2 per cent in January. This was the sixth deal that was put to them.
Some 90 per cent of EIS members who took part in the vote backed the pay offer, with 10 per cent rejecting it. There was a turnout of 82 per cent.
