EIS

EIS general secretary Andrea Bradley said it was set to ballot members over strike action because the Scottish government had failed to reduce the amount of time teachers must spend in the classroom.

The EIS survey was completed by almost 11,000 teachers – about 20% of its membership.

Alison, who has been a primary school teacher for 13 years and is an EIS representative, says she almost burnt out completely at the start of her career.

She said that "failure" would lead to the EIS opening a consultative ballot on industrial action at its annual general meeting later this week.

Ventura County prosecutors say Austin Allen Eis, 26, carried out a series of “calculated attacks” on April 18, 2023, that began with a stabbing in Simi Valley and culminated in Eis slamming his car into the teens who were standing outside Westlake High School.
