Glasgow teachers announce strike date in dispute over cuts - The Educational Institute of Scotland said schools across the city will likely close when staff walk out on February 20.

Glasgow teachers have voted to strike in protest at cuts to education services. Members of the the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) teaching union who took part in the ballot voted 95% to 5% in favour of walking out unless the ongoing programme of cuts is halted and reversed.

Teachers in Glasgow have voted "overwhelmingly" in favour of strike action. This action is in response to the Glasgow City Council's ongoing programme of education cuts, which have already led to a significant reduction in teacher numbers.
