Edinburgh High School Students Union

Brilliant deputation from @_EHSSU_ talking about why students might need access to mobile phones in schools (in relation to tory motion to ban them): neurodivergence, young carers, diabetes, contact home, paying for lunch, reminders, location tracking, mental health support...

We still need as many signatures as possible. All the Edinburgh councillors need to know that the people of Edinburgh demand that they Save Our Schools! @_EHSSU_ @EISUnion megaphone.org.uk/petitions/save…

@Mouhssin_Ismail Impressive? Sounds like they need a union

Paula agreed emphatically with the @_EHSSU_ that there is a place for student voice in the reform of Scottish Education. David also acknowledged the vital role of students, as well as parents, in improving education through the empowered schools system.

Today, EHSSU members stood in solidarity with striking school staff, in support of their demand for fair pay! We can only expect a good educational experience when staff are paid what they deserve. Solidarity @unisonedin ✊

At the parliament supporting @unisonedin! Come and say hi!

Come and find us tomorrow outside the Scottish Parliament. Solidarity with striking @unisonscot school staff ✊

@EdinburghEIS @claire_clairer @EdinburghMayDay @ScottishTUC @EISUnion see you there!

Getting ready to head out to join fellow trade unionists and climate activists, and call on our governments to take serious action over climate change.

We joined @FFF_Scotland outside the #ScottishParliament today! Climate Justice means a #JustTransition for all, leaving no one behind!

Solidarity with the @NEUnion ✊ School Students support striking teachers, as their fight is our fight. How can we expect a high quality education when teachers are underpaid and schools are underfunded? #SaveOurSchools #PayUp

@NEUnion @GillianKeegan @rehanwjamil ✊✊✊

Highlights from today's London #PayUpNow #SaveOurSchools strike demo. If @GillianKeegan wants to stop the strikes, she must restart talks, publish the STRB report & fully fund a decent pay rise that starts to halt the crisis. #DoYourJobGill 📷 @rehanwjamil

@andreajenkyns By striking, teachers are putting children first in the long run. How can pupils expect a high quality education from underpaid teachers in underfunded schools?

Children suffered enough with their education during lockdown, teachers should put children first and not strike. Why dont they strike during summer holidays when kids wont have to miss lessons! #LabourBackedStrikes

@EstherMcVey1 Hey! We are the school pupils who were negatively affected by closures during COVID. We 100% back striking teachers and stand in full solidarity with them. How can we expect a high quality education when teachers are underpaid and schools are underfunded??

Looking out from my window in Westminster… Striking teachers…

What’s next?!

Created a community!

A thread of some of our best achievements this year!
