Two Dundee teachers have received national recognition for their work with technology in the classroom.

Kelly MacDonald from Harris Academy won the award for secondary education teacher of the year at the Scotland Women in Technology Awards on Thursday night.

Jill Sim from Rosebank Primary was rewarded with a special commendation in the primary teacher of the year category.

Dundee City Council children and families service convener Gregor Murray said: "This is a fantastic result for both these teachers and for schools in Dundee and I would like to congratulate them for this achievement.

"Their success highlights the quality of technology and digital education that is ongoing in our classrooms.

"Enthusiastic teachers are helping our children and young people to learn important digital skills that will help them to play a part in the exciting opportunities that are developing in Dundee."

He added: "It is vital for the future of the city that we help equip our pupils for the challenges and demands that they will face when they leave school."

Head of foundation and graduate level apprenticeship at Skills Development Scotland Diane Greenlees said: "With nearly 13,000 jobs available every year in the sector, we need young women - more than ever - to join and flourish in this industry, and teachers are instrumental in getting those talented young females into these jobs."
