The scandal of precarity in our classrooms has to end! Teachers deserve permanent contracts, and pupils need stable staffing! @scottishgov.bsky.social must act now! #SU4QE @eisunion.bsky.social theedinburghreporter.co.uk?p=620525

Gerard Wilkie questions the minister on ASN. How does the Scottish Government plan to ensure that future ASN provision is not just inclusive in principle but adequately resourced in practice — and will we see ring-fenced funding or mandatory staff training standards to support this?”

I've voted YES:YES in our consultative ballot. Make sure you use your vote! We have to hold the Scottish Government to account for its failure to deliver on its own manifesto commitment. #EISAGM25 #VOTEYESYES
