Forget whether you agree with it on not, how are they funding it along with free prescriptions and free university tuition? |  | | |  |

The headline is a bit misleading. Isn't it a 5 day working week with 4 days teaching and one day for preparation and marking. |  | | |

It's the addional cover that's the cost WR as it's 10% more no-contact time that England and Wales. | | | |

It's already happening in England to a certain extent with there being inset days before and after term breaks. This is just taking it a step further and it's not like having a day off to play golf or do DIY etc..it's still work.
My friend's wife is a secondary school teacher with grown up kids and is nearly retired, but I can imagine that for teachers with school-age kids themselves it's a hard slog these days with class sizes, Ofsted etc. and the pay isn't great from what I gather. People point to the summer holidays and half-terms but there is a certain amount of playing catch up during this downtime, not to mention those staff that are involved in extra curicular activities like school trips, sports, D of E awards and it never feels like a proper break. |  |

This is a bit different as essentially it's the Scotish government adding 10% to the teaching bill - it'll be a vast amount of money on top of what they're paying for free precriptions and for Scottish children going to unviversity.
I'd love to know how they're managing to fund it. [Post edited 1 Dec 2025 13:48]

They dont waste their time subsidising bloody airports for a start or planting trees in foreign countries. | | | |

Just off the top of my head:
1. Higher historic per capita allocations under the Barnett Formula than England or Wales.
2. Nice extra wedge pushed Scotland's way in the Budget.
