Andrea Bradley made clear the rise in violence is a 'consequence of not listening to the voices of teachers as they’ve called for more support for children and young people whose mental health is fragile'.
Increasing violence in Scotland’s classrooms is the result of ministers not listening to demands for extra support to be given to children, said the leader of the countries largest teaching union.
Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth has pledged a special summit will be held to look at how to tackle violence within schools. But Bradley said the EIS will be there to make sure “it leads to real action and real resources rather than just talk”.It also launched the 'Our Kids ... Our Future' campaign, which calls for ring-fence funding to make sure every community has a place for teenagers to go and demands that social media giants enforce policies on tackling harmful content.
She said the union will highlight the “crippling workload” teachers have and the “boundless bureaucracy” they have to deal with.
