“Education is our No.1 priority”
Yet when it comes to employing the very professionals that are trained to deliver it, the @scotgov refuses to take responsibility.

As a result of a blame-game between the government and local authorities, there are 1000’s of teachers desperate for permanent jobs who are facing unemployment or zero-hours contracts come August. It is an utterly disgraceful and depressing situation.
Brilliant to see @JohnSwinney promise to work with councils to secure probationers employment next year. There’s still work to do but a huge thanks to everyone involved in the campaign so far! 👏

Last week @_MissMcAuley contacted me on behalf of Newly Qualified Teachers (NQTs) worried about jobs next year. I met an inspiring group on Monday. Today I announced we will work with Councils so all NQTs who have reached the standard secure jobs this year. Our schools need you.
@EmilyMSYP @LucyPenman7 @WiktoriaMSYP @SarahQuinnMSYP @JamieMurrayMSYP@JackNorquoy The team was solid, we’re a hardworking bunch! 🤞🏻 Excited to see what the new membership will create :)
This is huge. Jacinda Ardern's New Zealand is about to become the first major country to abandon growth as political priority in favour of well-being. #postgrowth https://t.co/J5mAuACLFN
