Top Scottish university chosen to host new teaching excellence centre

Few details had been revealed about scheme since SNP announcement in 2023

A new Centre of Teaching Excellence is to be established at Glasgow University to try to make Scotland a “world leader” in the field, it has been announced.

Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth first announced plans for the centre at the SNP conference in October last year, but few details have been revealed since then.

However, Ms Gilruth told MSPs on Wednesday that Glasgow University had been chosen to host the facility, which she said would now get up and running “at pace”.
