The NASUWT said the latest offer from the Scottish Government and councils “falls short of what teachers have demanded”.
A second teaching union will ballot its members on a new offer to end a long-running dispute, but a senior figure has described the pay rise as “paltry” and hit out at the talks where it was devised.
Last week, the union claimed it had been excluded from talks between the Scottish Government and the EIS – the country’s biggest teaching union. The EIS announced on Friday it was suspending its planned strike action to ballot members on the offer. "This latest pay offer provides only a paltry improvement over the previous offer that was rejected by our members. No doubt employers, the Scottish Government and others will want to claim that this offer represents a significant improvement for teachers, when in fact that means another pay cut for the profession.
