Swinney’s commitment to fund college sector must be more than words, says UNISON

Commenting on Audit Scotland’s report into college funding UNISON Scotland’s lead for further education, Janet Stewart said today (Thursday):

“John Swinney’s commitment to properly fund the college sector must be more than words.

“Audit Scotland’s damning report confirms that Scotland’s colleges budgets have been slashed over recent years and this cannot continue.

“College staff do a brilliant job in the circumstances. They deserve support from the Scottish government not year on year budget cuts.”
