Founded in 1944, the Scottish Secondary Teachers' Association (SSTA) is Scotland's second largest teachers' union, set up to focus on secondary issues, initially as a reaction to the perception of undue influence exercised on national education issues at that time by the primary sector. The SSTA states two aims:
*To advance education in Scotland
*To safeguard and promote the interests of Scottish secondary teachers in all matters, especially those which affect salaries and conditions of service.
The Association works to promote these two main aims in many ways
*Ensuring that the secondary view is heard
*Formulating policies to reflect the views and needs of members
*Responding to consultations on educational matters
*Representing members and their views to SEED, SQA,
*GTCS and other national bodies such as SCRE and Learning and Teaching Scotland
*Advising members on curricular, professional and contractual matters
*Campaigning to maintain educational standards
*Negotiating salaries and conditions of service in the SNCT
*Campaigning for improvement and against deterioration in salaries and conditions of service.
The SSTA is affiliated to the STUC and Education International and is extremely active in both organisations. The SSTA contribution to educational debate and the formulation of policy is well recognised and respected.
