Edinburgh schools: Teachers wear red in support of colleagues ‘trapped’ in temporary contracts Teachers across Edinburgh dressed in red today in a national day of action in support of teachers on temporary contracts.

Great to see so many teachers protesting about the scandalous lack of permanency and stability in teaching! They know it's bad for pupils, as well as for those trapped in insecurity.

And this is not new to 2025 but a problem many years in the running. Temp contracts are no good for teachers, pupils, schools or anybody’s well being. Permanent posts now!

Great speakers from across society - disabled people, trade unionists, health care workers and others. All saying ##WelfareNotWarfare. Our politicians must prioritise spending on supporting ordinary people, not warfare across the world.
