All Glasgow primary, secondary and ASL schools will be closed to pupils for two days next week due to strike action.
The industrial action by teacher unions amid the ongoing pay dispute will see schools in the city closed to all pupils on Tuesday, February 28 and Wednesday, March 1.
Douglas Hutchison, executive director of education at Glasgow City Council has written to parents and carers to inform them of the closures. The intention is for all our standalone nurseries and nursery classes to be open as normal.

The letter will be issued by schools to their families in order to help make alternative arrangements for the two days of action.
Douglas Hutchison, executive director of education said: "I understand that this continues to cause disruption to families and that parents and carers are concerned about the impact on their children.
"Our hope is that a satisfactory resolution can be found as the national talks continue between the unions, the Scottish Government and COSLA."

- Wednesday 22 February
- Thursday 23 February
- Friday 24 February
