Colleges boost
The Scottish Government’s decision to reduce proposed cuts to colleges’ budgets (your report, 6 February) is welcomed by college principals across Scotland. Colleges have £61 million more than expected and this will provide us with a measure of financial stability as we continue to take forward reforms over the next two years.
The Scottish Government has listened to Colleges Scotland, which asked for continued investment in the sector and a reduction in the proposed cuts.
