New national centre comes to Glasgow
The University of Glasgow has been announced as the host of Scotland's new Centre for Teaching Excellence by Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills Jenny Gilruth MSP.
The centre will work closely with researchers and national education organisations to provide more opportunities for Scotland's teachers to develop their practice.
Professor Sir Anton Muscatelli, Principal and Vice-Chancellor, said: "This is worthy recognition of the extensive work our School of Education has undertaken over many years on issues such as educational improvement and innovation, and approaches to supporting professionals in making decisions that matter for the learning and wellbeing of our young people.
“This also comes at a time when Glasgow has just recently been announced as a UNESCO Learning City in recognition of outstanding achievements in lifelong learning, which gives us the exciting opportunity to showcase our widening participation programmes and civic engagement partnerships as global exemplars of best practice."
The University will work with the Scottish Government to set up the new centre, which is expected to open in 2026.
