I am a recently retired Mathematics teacher with 28 years of experience at Ashton Secondary School (formerly Ashcraig Secondary School) in Glasgow, Scotland. This school was established to provide mainstream education for young people with physical disabilities. Its staff included a multidisciplinary team of teachers, physiotherapists, speech therapists, and classroom assistants. In 2014, Ashcraig Secondary School merged with Milton School, which catered to young people with complex learning needs. Initially, the two school populations were educated separately within the same building, and the merged institution was renamed Ashton School. Muhammad was a student at the time of this transition. I had the privilege of being Muhammad’s Mathematics teacher throughout his secondary education, from his First to Sixth Year, until he graduated in June 2017. From the beginning of his time at school, Muhammad stood out for his determination to overcome the challenges posed by his cerebral palsy and to excel in his studies. It was evident that he came from a supportive, respected, and intellectually curious family who had instilled in him a positive attitude toward his abilities and potential. His commitment to hard work was apparent from a young age and grew even stronger as he matured. Muhammad adeptly utilized IT in the classroom to overcome the physical difficulties associated with his condition and was always open to experimenting with new technologies that could further support his learning. He demonstrated a deep understanding of the barriers faced by students with various disabilities, including conditions such as muscular dystrophy, spina bifida, visual and hearing impairments, and autism spectrum disorders. Muhammad consistently showed empathy toward his classmates and a genuine interest in their well-being. It is no surprise to me that he has since founded an organization dedicated to improving the lives of disabled individuals. In addition to his academic diligence, Muhammad was articulate and honest in expressing his views, always ready to listen to alternative perspectives. His commitment to equality and diversity was evident, and he spoke passionately about these issues whenever the opportunity arose. I have no doubt that Muhammad is a person of exceptional ability and integrity. I am confident that any organization led by him will embody the same core values he demonstrated during his time at school.
