PETER
PEACOCK, MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND YOUNG PEOPLE
It is with regret that the Scottish Secondary
Teachers’ Association
learned today of the resignation through ill-health of Peter Peacock,
Minister for Education and Young People. “While we fully understand
the choice he has made”, said David Eaglesham, the Association’s
General Secretary, “and wish him future health and happiness,
his departure is a significant loss for the education community in
Scotland.”
“In his time as Minister”, Mr Eaglesham continued, “he
has undoubtedly had the good of young people in Scotland at the
forefront of his agenda throughout and has been one of the most
able ministers to have held the post. Representatives from the
Association met with him only last Tuesday and he remained as dynamic
and committed as ever.”
Mr Eaglesham concluded, “We thank
him for his contribution to Scottish education and sincerely
hope that he enjoys improved
health in the future.”
