Top of the class: Looking back at Aberdeen College of Education graduations

Student teachers graduating from the University of Aberdeen this month will be looking ahead to their probationary year when schools return after the summer.

Although Covid-19 has put a stop to in-person graduations for a second year running, graduates will still celebrate this month in absentia.

Many newly-qualified teachers will be keenly spending their summer holidays getting ready for their fledgling year in the classroom.

We’ve taken a trip down memory lane into our archives to look back at fresh-faced graduate teachers from Aberdeen’s College of Education over the years.

The imposing, granite student halls of residence at Hilton won’t be a familiar sight to teaching graduates in recent years.

This photo from 1970 shows the halls overlooking the new College of Education.

These graduates from Aberdeen College of Education’s class of 1978 were trailblazers in their field.

Jean Brodie, Ethel Cruickshank, Jean Argo, Merle Morgan, Dot McCaskill and Maureen Dunne were already qualified teachers who supported children with additional needs.

The group were the first to receive the brand new Special Education Diploma to enhance their qualifications in working with physically and mentally impaired pupils.

The College of Education was a colloquial term for several Aberdeen institutions that provided teacher training between 1874 and 2001.

In 1987, the name changed to the Northern College of Education following a merger with Dundee College of Education.

These delighted graduates were the first to receive their postgraduate certificates in primary education from the new, amalgamated colleges.

Fiona Sample, Peter Wood, Christine Laing and Pauline Kidd raise a glass for their graduation in October 1988.

Peter was one of only two male teachers studying for a Bachelor in Education at the Northern College that year – the duo were somewhat outnumbered by 63 women.

Graduation in 1988 was a happy reunion and opportunity for these former classmates to catch up, as their established teaching careers had taken them far and wide.

Duncan Mackay head teacher at Maryburgh Primary, Fiona Menzies, Alison Gauld head teacher at Rayne North and Douglas Smith from Broomhill Primary all gained their College Associateship for Teaching Upper Primary.

Fiona, a teacher with the Forces’ School in Upper Germany, jetted back in for the occasion to celebrate with her peers.

Kerry Neilson, Elaine Montague, David Wallis, Susan Lyon and Rosalind Beckett were the latest additions to the teaching workforce in October 1990.

The newly qualified teachers were celebrating the achievement of gaining their Bachelor of Education in Primary Teaching.

The Northern College Class of 1992 were together for the final time at their July graduation ceremony.

Scrolls in hand, the young teachers were out of academia and getting ready for the chalkface when schools returned in August.

There was a packed theatre at the Northern College for the teacher training graduation ceremony 28 years ago.

The 1993 classmates were picking up their new honours degrees in primary teaching.

Cheers to new careers! These women had every reason to celebrate – they had all worked full-time while studying for their postgraduate certificates in primary education.

Classmates Marilyn Macdonald, Dorothy Clark, Judith Philip, Alison Clark and, front, Irene Duncan, Sheila Reid and Rosemary Biddie raised a glass to all their hard work in July 1994.

Wendy Alexander Approves University Merger Proposal for Northern College

• University Home
• Latest News

Scottish Executive Press Release

Minister for Enterprise and Lifelong Learning, Wendy Alexander today approved the planned merger of

Northern College of Education with the Universities of Aberdeen and Dundee.

Ms Alexander said:

"The integration of Northern College's two campuses with the Universities of Aberdeen and Dundee will have

considerable benefits for students and staff alike and will enhance the teacher training provision available in

Tayside and Grampian

"Students will benefit from access to a greater range of courses and the opportunity to participate in the wider

academic and social communities within the universities.

"The strong research ethos of the two universities will offer development possibilities to the staff, and in return

the universities will benefit from the College's strong links with schools and other educational bodies.

"By combining their resources and expertise, the merged institutions will demonstrate high levels of academic

quality, diversity and flexibility.

NOTES TO NEWS EDITORS

1. The College's Aberdeen and Dundee campuses are to be merged with the respective Universities.

2. In considering merger proposals, the Minister for Enterprise and Lifelong Learning is advised by the Scottish

Higher Education Funding Council (SHEFC). SHEFC assess the proposal against criteria established for this

purpose, and endorsed by the Scottish Executive. Institutions are expected to demonstrate that their proposals

to merge are based upon an objective and detailed assessment of the costs and benefits involved, and that

the decision to merge reflects a desire to enhance educational opportunities, and the teaching and learning

environment of students and staff. Furthermore, the proposal must contribute to the efficiency and

effectiveness of the Scottish higher education sector as a whole.

3. The technical means by which the merger will be effected is by means of an Order closing Northern College

and transferring its rights, assets, liabilities etc to the Universities. Before making the Order, the Minister is

required to consult with the governing body of the institution to be closed, and with SHEFC. These

consultations will take place with a view to implementing the merger later in the year.
