@adamboxer1 Great if it works out but we all know falling pregnant doesn't work out quite so simply for everyone. I wasn't working as a teacher when I had my 3 but I can see the temptation to try and get it to work out with holidays etc.

[EIS @EISUnion]

The Scottish Government were elected in 2021 on a commitment to reduce class contact time to 21 hours. That commitment was made four years ago. There has still been no proposal for keeping this manifesto promise tabled at the SNCT. It is essential that any proposal on class contact time uses the full reduction to increase Preparation and Correction time.

1.5 hours of more preparation and correction time will mark a step forward in addressing the unsustainable workload of teachers.

1.5 hours of more preparation and correction time will allow teachers to better ensure quality learning for pupils, including those with ASN.

There are 23 days left for COSLA and the Scottish Government to meaningfully and collegiately commit to addressing workload.

@anygirlfriday We work around my husband working shifts to reduce our bill and my mum village helping out now and again, it's a juggle!

[MrsD_BusEd @BusedMrsd]

@anygirlfriday It doesn't stop when funding kicks in for nursery, you still have to pay for breakfast and after school clubs which add up and in my area there is a distinct lack of provision given our local council just closed down their provisions across the local authority!

@EISUnion is there any further update on the teachers pat that was agreed last month and when it would be seen in our pay? Seems to have gone very quiet since it was accepted?

[MrsD_BusEd @BusedMrsd]

@HWT_PE I'm on a wait list due to demand being so high!

This should be a wake-up call to the Scottish Government that graduates are voting with their feet and choosing other careers where terms and conditions are better - pay is higher, workload is lower and working environments are safer.

Huge pleasure to launch the new @CYPCS children’s rights book for early years today.

Early years professionals are such brilliant human rights champions. They asked for a book to help with discussions about human rights with wee ones… so…
