The 2015 AGM Equality Fringe marked the 10th anniversary of the successful campaign by a group of Drumchapel High School pupils, and their teacher[1]an EIS member- against harsh UK Government anti-asylum policies, to bring an end to child detention in Scotland.
Glasgow Girls, Amal Azzudin, Roza Salih, Agensa Murselaj, Jennifer MCarron and Emma Clifford, and their Bilingual Support Teacher, Euan Girvan, told the story of their campaign to a captive Equality Fringe audience.
The EIS has kept links with the group and recently worked with Euan Girvan to create ‘The Glasgow Girls’ teaching resource to help educate young people about asylum, racism and campaigning against injustice

Thanks to the many former activists and officers who gave of their time to be interviewed and taken a stroll down memory lane. And of course a very special thanks to the EIS members who created this history through their activism and commitment to the cause of Scottish Education.
