Prestigious French award for retired GMIT lecturer
Anne Brindley, a retired French lecturer from Galway-Mayo Institute of Technology (GMIT), has been awarded the prestigious title of
Chevalier de l’Ordre des
Palmes académiques by the French government in recognition of her innovative approach to the teaching and learning of French throughout her career.
The
Ordre des Palmes académiques was first established by Napoléon in 1808 to honour members of the University of Paris and the order has since evolved into an order of merit with an award to recognise the outstanding work of French nationals and Francophones who contribute to the education sector, and the promotion of the French language and culture.
Mayo schools are to implement a mental health and wellbeing programme in the classroom over the next three years with the support of local organisations.
