1/7/2008Uni salutes city's top teacher

A headteacher who transformed the fortunes of a secondary school in one of Glasgow's most deprived areas has been honoured for his achievements.
Bruce Malone, head of St Andrew's Secondary in Carntyne, has been made an honorary doctor by Strathclyde University.
Under his leadership the school was given the best education report of any Scottish secondary.
School inspectors awarded it "excellent" ratings in five categories in 2006 including the head's leadership, the first time a state or independent secondary had won so many.
The school has grown from being under the threat of closure in the early 1990s to being over-subscribed today.
Tony Blair, who opened the school's new £13m campus, wrote to congratulate Mr Malone in the wake of the HMI report.
That year, pupils at the East End school toasted a 93% pass rate for Standard Grades at the top grades of three or above.
St Andrew's serves Barlanark, Carntyne, Cranhill, Easterhouse, Greenfield, Parkhead, Ruchazie, Shettleston and Springboig.
Mr Malone said: "I'm absolutely delighted and proud for myself the teachers and families and for the whole of Glasgow's education authority."
Mr Malone, who grew up in a St George's Cross flat in the city, began teaching at St Margaret Mary's, Castlemilk, and was promoted in 1976 to head of modern studies at Saint Gerard's in Govan.
He joined Saint Andrew's RC Secondary, a 1600-pupil school, in 1991 and was awarded the CBE in 1998 for his work in education.
He earned a BA degree in Economics and Business Administration at Strathclyde in 1972.
Mr Malone is one of seven distinguished figures, including Scots politician Dennis Canavan, being honoured at Strathclyde this summer.
Professor Andrew Hamnett, Principal of the university, said of the honorary graduates: "They have excelled in their fields, and are outstanding examples of what can be achieved in life."

Roobarb Anorak says: Yawn! Again St Andrews is being trumpeted above all the other secondary schools in the area. As they have a very selective admission process, it's easy for them to weed out the riff raff. It would be nice to see a bit more praise for the schools who are serving the REAL deprived areas.
