A bursary scheme named after a Londonderry teacher ensures students have an equal chance at receiving a third-level education

BBC News NI north-west reporter

The 55-year-old's sudden death in June 2016 had a profound effect on many, including her students and family. After her death, Mary said their family wanted to do something in Patricia's memory, that also reflected her love for teaching. "My son used to joke, too, that the minute he finished school any year she had the uniform whipped off him, washed and left aside for somebody whose parents couldn't afford to buy them one.

"Academically, Patricia was an outstanding teacher and taught the boys brilliantly, she was a real lover of her subject which was English," Madden said.
