Welcome to the EIS FIFE Local Association
History of Fife Local Association of the EIS
Fife Local Association dates from 1972 when the present structure was set up with three main districts - North East Fife, Kirkcaldy and Dunfermline. Each district covers all the schools in the area.
There are currently 19 Secondary and 142 Primary schools in Fife plus special units and free standing nurseries. These are the figures for January 2008.
The majority of teachers in these schools are EIS members.
