FOI Request - Teacher Class Contact Time 2022-23

Request 101003065039

I am seeking information about school timetabling for the 2022/2023 session. In particular, I am looking to understand the situation with teacher non-contact time in primary and secondary schools, planning for which has of course already commenced, and may have been affected by the Scottish Government's policy of reducing class contact time by 90 mins per week (from the current 22.5 hours down to 21 hours). Put simply, I wish to know whether your council area will give teachers reduced class contact time as of August 2022.

Please provide the following information as per FOISA:

1.  For session 2022/2023, what will be the weekly maximum class contact time for primary school teachers in your council area?

2.  For session 2022/2023, what will be the weekly maximum class contact time for secondary school teachers in your council area?
