“…This was the beginning of the arrival in Scotland of a series of male and female religious orders and congregations from Belgium, France, Ireland and England with a commitment to Catholic school education (Dilworth, 1978). They were to have a significant impact as they provided high quality Catholic elementary school education, and, in some places, they provided the earliest forms of Post-Reformation Catholic secondary school education (Kehoe, 2019;O'Donoghue, 2019).…”

Teacher Preparation in Scotland

In the mid to late 19 th century there was a pressing demand for specialised teacher training for Catholic teachers in Scotland. This was caused by a number of factors including the increase in the Catholic population and new legislation introduced by the Education (Scotland) Act, 1872. Many of the Catholic schools had been reliant on a small number of qualified teachers and a larger group of pupil-teachers and the Catholic authorities were anxious to establish and maintain a qualified Catholic teaching workforce. The opening of Notre Dame Training College for Women in Dowanhill, Glasgow in 1895 was a first major step in this process. This would later be consolidated by the opening of St. Margaret's College for Women in Craiglockhart, Edinburgh in 1920. The provision for male Catholic teachers was more problematic: there was not always access to a formal and systematic Catholic training in Scotland and this would remain the case until the mid 20 th century. The two Colleges were merged into the national St Andrew's College in Bearsden in 1981. St. Andrew's College was merged with the University of Glasgow in 1999 and became a major part of the Faculty of Education, later becoming the School of Education in 2010. The School of Education continues the mission to prepare Catholic teachers. This chapter will examine this history of Catholic teacher education in Scotland from the mid 19 th century to the early 21 st century. The chapter is divided into five parts. Part one will provide concise background details to the growth of the Catholic population in the 19 th century and the beginning of the history of contemporary Catholic schools. Part two will explore the opportunities for the early forms of Teacher Training that were available to Catholics in Scotland and England. Part three will discuss the beginning of Catholic Teacher Training in Scotland. This will feature the Education (Scotland) Act, 1872 and the beginning of formal Catholic Teacher Training in Scotland with the opening of Notre Dame College in Glasgow. Part four will focus on the early twentieth century. This will commence with the Education (Scotland) Act, 1918 and continue with the opening of the St. Margaret's College for Women in Craiglockhart and an overview of the provision of Catholic Teacher Training for men. Part five provides an examination of Catholic Teacher Preparation in the late 20 th and early 21 st centuries with particular reference to the two mergers: the first between Notre Dame and Craiglockhart and the second between St. Andrew's College and the University of Glasgow. The chapter will end with some concluding remarks. Part One: The growth of the Catholic community and Catholic schools in the nineteenth century The inception of formal Catholic Teacher Training in Scotland is linked to the increase in the Catholic population in the nineteenth century, the subsequent growth of Catholic schools and the development of compulsory state education. In the Post-Reformation era, a small number of Catholic schools were established in differ...
