Thousands of pupils will stay at home on day one of Unison's three-day strike in a dispute over pay.
A deadline was set for Wednesday last week for local authority body Cosla to make an improved pay offer - this was extended while it sought money from the deputy first minister.
Just hours before the strikes were due to start, First Minister Humza Yousaf urged Unison to suspend its strike action and to put the improved pay offer to members to vote on. She said: "If the Scottish government was serious about avoiding disruption for pupils, parents and staff, ministers should have been in touch, and spoken to us. But they've been conspicuously absent.
"We have met every ask of our trade union colleagues and this best and final offer which will see every single local government worker receive an in-year pay rise of between 6% and almost 10% on the basis that strikes would be suspended.
