Education Studies alumni recognised in King鈥檚 New Year Honours 2026
The Department of Education Studies is delighted to celebrate the achievements of two of our alumni who have been recognised in the King鈥檚 New Year Honours 2026 for their exceptional contributions to education and public service.
Professor Jacquelyn Bridget Dunne, who completed her MA in Education and Industry with the former Institute of Education, has been awarded an MBE for services to Higher Education. Now Vice-Chancellor of Birmingham Newman University, Professor Dunne has built a distinguished career championing access, opportunity, and innovation in the sector.
Ian Todd, a graduate of the PG Diploma in Educational Assessment, has been awarded an OBE for Parliamentary and Public Service. As Chief Secretary and Head of the Public Service for the St Helena Government, he has played a central role in public sector leadership and governance.
We are immensely proud to see that two of our education alumni have had their contributions recognised nationally. Their honours highlight the impact of education professionals whose careers have been shaped, in part, by their time at 糖心TV.
We warmly congratulate Professor Dunne and Ian Todd on their achievements.
