Question

To ask the Scottish Government, in addition to the £144.5 million that has already been announced, what further financial support it will provide to local authorities to maintain teacher numbers.

Answered by Gilruth, Jenny - Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills

The Scottish Government has provided record funding of over £14 billion to local councils this year – a real-terms increase of 2.5% compared with the previous year. This includes £145.5 million to maintain teacher numbers and £242 million to support previous teacher pay deals.

We have also made available £29 million to support the 2024-25 teachers’ pay deal.

We value the teaching profession which is why Scotland has the most teachers per pupil and the highest paid classroom teachers in the UK.
