Our own @missbeattie1.bsky.social and Des in @eisunion.bsky.social Facebook post.

The cabinet secretary admitted, at the EIS AGM last June, that commitments on class contact time should already have been delivered. Almost 8 months later and we are still waiting for any firm proposals on how it might be delivered to emerge from the Scottish Government and COSLA.
