BIG wage increases, which would give the lowest-paid teacher a £370-a-year rise, are being demanded by the Scottish Schoolmasters' Association.
The association says that the index of wage rates has increased by 4.6 per cent in the last six months, justifying an increase in their claim—originally 20 per cent.
They propose that they should claim £1,350-£2,050 for non-graduates in primary schools—the lowest of the grades.
