PHONE-IN
Teachers unions will decide how to respond to a new pay offer today after it was agreed by council leaders last night. It falls well short of their call for a 10% one year rise.
The offer was agreed with extra money from the Scottish government which says it has found £156m to fund a two-year deal. The new offer involves a 6% pay rise in the current year and a further 5.5% in the new financial year, which starts in April. The largest teaching union, the EIS, has been striking for a 10% rise this year. Employers - represented by the local government body Cosla - have presented their offer as an 11.5% rise over two years.
The government said it would mean an overall increase of more than £5,000 over two years for the 70% of classroom teachers who are at the top of their main grade pay scale.
