School closure dates confirmed during teacher strike action

Many schools will be forced to closed during next week’s teacher strikes.

The SIC has today (Friday) published a list of all Shetland schools affected after the industrial action was confirmed earlier this week.

Four teaching unions said their members would be walking out in a row over pay.

The action will mainly affect primary schools and early learning and childcare settings on Tuesday, with secondary schools set to close on Wednesday.

A number of junior schools will be affected on both of the days.

Several small primary schools will be opening as normal throughout the strikes.

A full list of schools affected can be found on the SIC’s website.

      Just who are you addressing, Brian, with your comment “Well done”? This is a tragedy for our children and I see nothing well done by any of the parties in this dispute. Only an idiot would think this is well done!
