A stalwart in education across Scotland has been recognised by the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) through the awarding of a professorship.
Morag Redford, from Coupar Angus, has been awarded the professorship in light of her dedication and lead in the provision and development of teacher education across the Highlands and Islands Region.
Professor Redford has held the role of head of teacher education at the UHI since September 2014, leading numerous teacher education programmes with academic and local authority partners. The former primary and secondary teacher is based at Perth College UHI and is a member of the Scottish Council for Education.
The university’s principal and vice-chancellor, Professor Clive Mulholland, said: “The title of professor is the highest level of academic achievement which can be awarded. It is reserved for individuals who are recognised as leaders in their field and have demonstrated excellence in their work.
“Professor Redford has developed a significant leadership role over her career and, in particular, she has enhanced our reputation and standing through important partnerships and collaborations at national and international levels.”
Professor Redford said: “I am delighted that the university has recognised my leadership of teacher education in the university and look forward to taking forward the research agenda for teacher education.”
