Scottish Secondary Teachers' Association
Scottish trade union
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Scottish Secondary Teachers' Association (SSTA) is Scotland's second largest teachers' union. It was created to focus on secondary education issues in reaction to the perception of national influence exercised by the primary education sector.

The SSTA is affiliated to Education International.[3]
Aims
The SSTA claims that it aims to advance education in Scotland and promote the interests of Scottish secondary teachers.[4]
In recent years it has campaigned for a reduction in the excessive workload secondary teachers face.[5][6] It also regularly raises the issue of the violence teachers face at work, and issues of growing levels of poor behaviour in schools.[7][8][9]
