More than two-thirds of teachers have used their own money to buy classroom supplies and help their pupils as they “continue to subsidise Scotland‘s education system”, according to a new survey.

The Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) poll of 16,475 members also found teachers are facing “significant stress” from both their “soaring levels of workload” and the impact of the cost-of-living crisis.

The poll found 34 per cent of teachers said they had poor wellbeing within their job overall, while 10 per cent described their wellbeing as “very poor”.

More than half said they felt stressed frequently (53 per cent) while a fifth (20 per cent) said they felt that way all the time.

The research also looked at the impact of the cost-of-living crisis and found almost seven in ten of those surveyed (69 per cent) said they have used their own money to buy food, clothing, school equipment, or pay for pupils they teach so the youngsters do not go without.
