SSTA

The SSTA is affiliated to the STUC and Education International and is extremely active in both organisations. The SSTA contribution to educational debate and the formulation of policy is well recognised and respected. The SSTA has an absolute commitment to Equal Opportunities which informs all of its policies and activities. This involves working nationally and internationally to improve not only standards of education, but also social conditions for all... Founded in 1944, the Scottish Secondary Teachers' Association is Scotland's only specialist union for Secondary Teachers. The union was set up to focus on secondary issues, initially as a reaction to the undue influence exercised on national education issues at that time by the primary sector. Nowadays this has developed into a commitment to ensure that the secondary view is properly represented.
