That the Parliament notes the publication of the NASUWT's survey report highlighting the critical impact of the cost of living crisis on the Scottish teaching profession and pupil wellbeing; expresses profound concern that the reported fall in real-terms pay and low morale are forcing many long-serving teachers and single-income households into financial distress and debt, with many taking on second jobs just to cover basic living costs; notes the report's identification of unsustainable workload, unstable employment, and a rise in violent and abusive pupil behaviour as factors that are critically undermining teacher retention and professional safety; observes with alarm the reported detrimental effects on pupils, including responses from teachers that 89% have seen worsened pupil behaviour, 77% have observed pupils struggling with attendance, and 64% see more pupils coming to school hungry or in unwashed/damaged clothes, which it considers confirms that poverty is actively shrinking educational opportunities; is deeply troubled that only 3% of respondents to the survey felt that schools had sufficient funding or capacity to tackle these impacts, which, it understands, leads to institutions relying on family fundraising for core educational supplies and teachers spending personal money to support their pupils' basic needs; agrees with the NASUWT that the Scottish Government must act urgently and decisively to address this crisis, and calls for immediate action to address staff poverty and morale, implement steps towards universal free school meals and expand access to breakfast clubs to alleviate child hunger and combat stigma, and establish a coherent, resourced and consistent national strategy to address the cost of the school day, ensuring that every child can realise their full potential.
