Fife Council is one of the lowest spenders of all Scottish councils per pupil for education. We need your help in changing this. We need more staff. Come to our public meeting THIS WEDNESDAY, 7pm, Rothes Halls https://t.co/TAUyfkALLv

It is disappointing that, despite very strong Yes votes for industrial action, our ballot has fallen victim to a highly restrictive element of trade union legislation that is soon to be repealed.

Fife Council are being asked to consider a £20.8 million real terms cut to school budgets by 2028-2029. Please make sure you have taken part in the ongoing budget consultation at: https://t.co/4J64qQNXhC This consultation closes on Sunday.

[EIS Fife @EISFife]

We can't recruit and retain teachers with these terms and conditions. We need a change to our contracts. We need to secure this through our statutory ballot. Please make sure you have posted your ballot paper THIS WEEK to ensure it is received before the closing date. #su4qe

With the dawning of the year 2026, it is now five years since the Scottish Government made its 2021 Manifesto promise to tackle excessive levels of teacher workload by employing 3,500 additional teachers and reducing teachers’ maximum class contact time commitment to 21 hours per week.
