Martyn Roebuck

Worked off and on in Sub-Saharan Africa since 1966, but mainly recently, since 1999, and concentrating on the development and monitoring of quality in education. My connection with Malawi is through my chairing of Link Community Development Scotland (LCDS) (since 2007). LCDS is directly involved in supporting educational improvement in Dedza and Mulanje in Malawi. My other related recent work in Africa has been in Uganda (1999-present), Rwanda (2004) and Botswana (2005). Up to 1997 I was a senior civil servant (Chief Inspector of Schools) in the Scottish Office Education and Industry Department, and responsible, among other things, for the International Relations Branch. Since 1998 I have been Honorary Professor of Education in the Faculty of Education of Glasgow University
