📢 A fantastic 3 days at #EISAGM26 and a real pleasure to join the EIS ULA delegation this year representing the Higher Education sector, from which every delegate this year rose to speak to a variety of motions across the 3 days. 🎤 Outstanding 👏🏼👏🏼
That concludes #EISAGM26! Thank you to everyone who attended.
That concludes our #EISAGM26, a huge thank you to all our delegats, the staff at the Caird Hall and EIS staff.
Nicola Fisher says "The far right are a clear and present danger to the children in our care who we educate. They are a clear and present danger to our communities and society." #EISAGM26
Motion 68 is moved by Neil Anderson and seconded by Andrew Fullwood. Craig Duffy, opposing the motion says, my point of opposition is purely because of what the mover said. It is a small organisation I haven't heard of. I don't know enough to see if we can or should affiliate to them.
Motion 67 is moved by first time speaker Tracey Trayner, "We must condemn Russia's crimes against the people of Ukraine. To enable our members to get involved in solidarity with Ukranian Trade Unions we first need to approve this motion."
At #EISAGM26, a motion passed to expand on our 'Welcome to Scotland' resources, including 'Mochara Goes to Nursery'. Find out more about Mochara on our website: https://www.eis.org.uk/welcome-to-scotland/mocharanursery
Christopher Devlin steps up to the podium to move our final education motion. "It is not our experience that a ban on phones has reduced violence and aggression in our schools." The motion is carried. #EISAGM26
Motion 23 is moved by Dominic Tollan. "I think the most basic thing we should be asking for is an email you can carry throughout the duration of your teaching career" he says. #EISAGM26 The motion is carried.
Motion 22 is moved by Sunita Nayyer, "When expectations are unclear members carry the risk. We need to see how widespread these expectations have become" #EISAGM26
Motion 21 regarding educating learners about working class history, labour movements and celebrating community culture gains strong support from delegates. In seconding the motion, first time speaker Danielle Henshaw says Collective bargaining isn't a relic of the past, it's a shield for the future.
