As The Herald on Sunday marks ten years since the campaign for LGBT-inclusive education was launched, education secretary Jenny Gilruth explains why she supports Time for Inclusive Education (TIE), why we must recommit to achieving their goals, and why Scotland must never go back to the "dark days of Section 28."

As Education Secretary, I see first-hand the transformative power of inclusive education in Scotland’s classrooms.

Historically, it is vitally important to remember this was not always the case. Teachers were once forbidden in law from even discussing issues pertaining to the LGBT community in Scotland; the impact and legacy of Section 28 remains an important lesson for those of us who seek to build a more inclusive country.

As we mark ten years since the Time for Inclusive Education (TIE) campaign began, we have an opportunity to reflect on how far we've come and the work that still lies ahead.
