To ask the Scottish Government when the proposed Teacher Jobs Guarantee will come into force.
The Scottish Government has been clear that we will support the delivery of a guaranteed three-year employment for newly qualified teachers.
Local authorities, as the employers of teachers, hold full responsibility for creating employment contracts and the decisions associated with them. Therefore, this commitment requires careful engagement with local government and trade union partners.
Further details on the Teacher Jobs Guarantee will be set out in due course.
