Scottish Greens U-turn on teacher cuts as strike looms
Teachers from the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) union take part in a rally outside the constituency office of Education Secretary Shirley-Anne Somerville in Dunfermline, Fife, during their strike action in dispute over pay, February 22, 2023

GREEN councillors on Scotland’s largest local authority have vowed to call a halt to teacher cuts they backed last year.

Glasgow City Council passed a joint SNP-Green budget in 2024 that included plans to slash 450 teaching posts over three years.

Despite campaigning by unions, parents and students, teaching union EIS estimates a year on that around 300 posts have already gone.
