Discussions continue over a 2025/26 pay award for teachers in Scotland.

An initial offer of 3% was unanimously rejected by all teacher trade unions in March 2025.

Although a revised and improved offer for teachers was eventually received (amounting to 4% for the 2025/26 pay year and 3.5% for the following year), following a meeting of teacher unions on 27 August, NASUWT and others have decided to reject this offer, largely because of rising inflation (with the RPI measure now at 4.8%) and there being no reopener clause as part of the latest offer.
