Unison held three days of industrial action last month, which closed many schools and nurseries across Scotland. The new dates are expected to be announced in the coming days.
Further school strikes are set to take place across Scotland amid a pay dispute. On Monday, Unison announced that nine in 10 members voted to reject the latest pay offer from local government umbrella body COSLA in a consultative ballot. The union confirmed that a rolling programme of strikes in schools and nurseries will take place in the coming weeks, with dates to be announced in days.

The offer represented a minimum wage increase of £2,006 for those on the Scottish government's living wage and a minimum increase of £1,929 for workers who were earning above the living wage. The living wage of £10.85 would have risen to £11.89 under the deal, equivalent to a 9.6% increase.
