"As teachers and members, we now hold education in our hands. And we must act together to ensure that real change happens; so that Scotland has an education system that is equally good to that anywhere else in the world.”

[EIS Scottish Borders @EISBorders]

Delegates from @EISBorders have taken their seats for #EISAGM23. Outgoing President Andrene Bamford currently addressing the conference.

[Tom Bennett OBE @tombennett71]

Scottish teachers and students are being failed by a generation of political leaders who are so blindly wedded to their inexpert and amateur ideology that they fail to see the misery in many, many schools.

This can't be allowed to carry on. Why should it be unions and journalists that have to do the hard work shining a light on it? https://t.co/QXcY4re0S5

[EIS Scottish Borders @EISBorders]

With the end of the pay campaign now official, I think it is hugely important to recognise and thank all the members and reps across the Scottish Borders who were so strong in their support of the campaign. Your collective effort is what got us to this point today!

"Thank you to each and every one of you
again and solidarity colleagues." - EIS General Secretary Andrea Bradley #PayAttention #EISStrike
