Teachers vote to strike over class contact time
Teachers backed strike action by 85% with a 60% turnout, citing unmet government promises to reduce workload and recruit 3,500 teachers.
- Members of the largest teachers' union, the EIS, voted overwhelmingly in favour of striking over demands to cut maximum class contact time by 90 minutes per week.
- The EIS argues many teachers have to prepare lessons or mark work in their own time, effectively working for free, and that promises to recruit 3,500 new teachers have not been delivered.
- The Education Secretary proposed changes she said could help cut workload, but the union wants more teachers employed instead of reducing student class time.
