New pay campaign and new leadership

175 years and still going strong


This year marks the 175th year since the foundation of the EIS, and events to mark the occasion continue. Included with this edition of the SEJ are the members’ diary for 2022-2023 which features a cover based on the 175th anniversary EIS tartan, and a specially commissioned badge for members. This edition of the SEJ also previews a new book, set to be launched at the AGM, that explores the EIS through its 175 years. The SEJ hopes that all members will join us in celebrating the long and illustrious history of the world’s longest-established teaching union – the Educational Institute of Scotland.
