A former Aberdeen headteacher has been re-elected as convener of a major education body.
David Innes was asked to remain in the position following a meeting of the General Teaching Council for Scotland (GTC Scotland) council last week.
He has more than 35 years of experience working in education, most recently as headteacher at Harlaw Academy.
Mr Innes has served on the council for the last four years, and served as convener since 2018. He retired in February.
In his position, he will chair meetings, provide leadership and carry out a number of ceremonial and ambassadorial roles on behalf of the independent organisation.
He said: “I have seen first-hand the breadth and quality of the work undertaken by GTC Scotland on behalf of our 76,600 registrants and for the benefit of children and communities across Scotland.
“GTC Scotland is held in very high regard by the teaching profession and it has rightly received national and international acclaim for its work in registration, regulation and professional learning.”
A number of other appointments were made including Khadija Mohammed, a vice principal at the University of Highlands and Isles as vice convener of council.
Fraserburgh Academy teacher Iain Macmillan was named education committee convener.
Mr Innes added: “Myself and my colleagues on the new council are all fully committed to ensuring GTC Scotland continues to build on its international reputation and retains the highest levels of confidence from the profession and wider community we serve.”
