“We were considered quite privileged to have gotten into St. Mary’s. We grew up with rationing. Youngsters at school now want choices for their dinners. That wouldn’t have even been thought of at home or anywhere else." St Mary’s University College has reunited families whose ties to the college stretch across generations to mark 125 years of teacher education in Belfast. Read more: tinyurl.com/2vhtk3m5

St Mary’s University College is marking 125 years of teacher education in Belfast. Former students whose experiences span more than 10 decades, from the darkest years of the conflict to today, united to share memories of their time at the college. St Joseph’s Training College, founded in 1961 as a Catholic teacher‑training college for men, operated alongside St Mary’s Training College for women until the two merged in 1985 to form today’s St Mary’s University College on the Falls Road. 🎥 Rohit Balaji
