NEARLY nine in 10 teachers say that their workload has increased during the pandemic, the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) revealed today.

More than six in 10 said that meeting pupils’ needs for additional support, including mental health support, had greatly added to their burden in the past 12 months.
