Brilliant deputation from @_EHSSU_ talking about why students might need access to mobile phones in schools (in relation to tory motion to ban them): neurodivergence, young carers, diabetes, contact home, paying for lunch, reminders, location tracking, mental health support...
We still need as many signatures as possible. All the Edinburgh councillors need to know that the people of Edinburgh demand that they Save Our Schools!

Paula agreed emphatically with the @_EHSSU_ that there is a place for student voice in the reform of Scottish Education. David also acknowledged the vital role of students, as well as parents, in improving education through the empowered schools system.
Today, EHSSU members stood in solidarity with striking school staff, in support of their demand for fair pay! We can only expect a good educational experience when staff are paid what they deserve. Solidarity @unisonedin ✊
Solidarity with the @NEUnion ✊
School Students support striking teachers, as their fight is our fight. How can we expect a high quality education when teachers are underpaid and schools are underfunded? #SaveOurSchools#PayUp
Education is in crisis and schools need the funds to give children the education they deserve.
Teachers & support staff need to be paid properly for the essential work they do.
Enough is enough.

@andreajenkyns By striking, teachers are putting children first in the long run. How can pupils expect a high quality education from underpaid teachers in underfunded schools?
@EstherMcVey1 Hey! We are the school pupils who were negatively affected by closures during COVID. We 100% back striking teachers and stand in full solidarity with them. How can we expect a high quality education when teachers are underpaid and schools are underfunded??
