EIS AGM 2021 - General Secretary calls for firm commitments on education recovery
The Annual General Meeting (AGM) of the EIS has concluded this afternoon with the final Motions being debated and with the annual AGM address by General Secretary Larry Flanagan...
That's it! I had a fantastic time at my first AGM. After such a challenging year, it has been moving and uplifting to hear colleagues speak so passionately about education in Scotland. So lucky to be part of this profession and @EISUnion #EISAGM21
Seconding the Motion Andrew O'Halloran highlights the human rights abuses in China and says if we take the funding we are endorsing the state and condoning their actions. #EISAGM21
Motion 40 is carried and Sonia Kordiak takes over the microphone to move Motion 41 to campaign for the creation of an education programme designed to help Scottish citizens combat fake news and disinformation. #EISAGM21
These are our turbulent times, colleagues, but we will emerge from them; it’s our challenge to ensure that Scotland and Scottish Education emerge to a better, more equitable, more socially just landscape. Thank you for your contribution to that struggle, colleagues. #EISAGM21
Let me pay tribute to the campaign of @EISFela around the defence of lecturer professionalism & more particularly to the members at FVC for their sustained strike action on the same principle. They deserve a virtual round of applause for their courageous stand. #EISAGM21
Why is it that one Local Authority agrees to pregnant staff working from home and others don’t; why do some provide CO2 monitors and others not? Teachers across the country do the same job and should have equal treatment from their employers. #EISAGM21
COSLA’s report card over this past year would certainly read “could do better.” The treatment of supply teachers is just one example. #EISAGM21
The Cabinet Secretary said she would “encourage” local authorities to address that but frankly that isn’t good enough – we need regulation to make it happen. #EISAGM21
We now need to see that delivered and delivered quickly, and, in the process we need to end the scandal of 1 in 10 teachers being on temporary contracts or worse, zero hours supply lists #EISAGM21
The importance of the teacher, the importance of school and education, to our society and to the common weal, are absolutely critical and that need has rarely been clearer. #EISAGM21
Your dedication, your selfless sense of duty, and above all your sheer professionalism have been veritable lifeboats in these turbulent times for our young people. #EISAGM21
The #EISAGM21 continues this afternoon. From 1400hrs, @EISUnion General Secretary Larry Flanagan will deliver his annual address. Final Motions, on Organisation matters, will follow. Full info at eis.org.uk and a live stream is available at facebook.com/EISUnion
Education Secretary @S_A_Somerville has told the @EISUnion AGM she will: ➡️ work with partners to cut teachers’ class contact time by 1.5 hours a week ➡️support recruitment of 3,500 extra teachers and classroom assistants ➡️press for progress on a fair pay deal for teachers
If we had training on neurodivergence, neurotypical adults would have a better understanding of the issues affecting neurodivergent individuals. #EISAGM21
Not all neurodivergent individuals regard themselves as disabled. This is why we are calling for a network just for them so they can raise with the union the issues that are specific to them. - Marly Maley #EISAGM21
Andrew Fullwood (Glasgow) moves Motion 36 on proper resourcing for Covid recovery: "There is poverty and inequality across Scotland. Education will do as much as it can, but the problem is poverty. We need resources to support Covid recovery in all communities." #EISAGM21
.@S_A_Somerville insists to #EISAGM21 that reform of @sqanews and @EducationScot will not be 'piecemeal' or 'round the edges'...
Motion 34, Nicola Fisher (Glasgow & Council) seconding: "This motion is extremely important, particularly when considering the gaslighting that has been going on around Coronavirus in schools" #EISAGM21
Motion 34, Susan Quinn: "Staff in schools need to have a say to ensure that buildings are safe for everyone to work in" #EISAGM21
Nuzhat Uthmani (Glasgow), seconding Motion 36 on resources for Covid recovery: "Teachers know what is needed to support young people and education recovery - government should ask us and we will tell them what is needed." #EISAGM21
