Scottish Secondary Teachers' Association

Home

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. From its inception the SSTA has been a real trade union with twin aims:

  • To advance education in Scotland
  • To safeguard and promote the interests of Scottish secondary teachers in all matters, especially those which affect salaries and conditions of service.
