Colleges Scotland

Colleges Scotland, the Scottish Funding Council and the Scottish Government have today announced the launch of an evidence-based future-proofing exercise to shape colleges for the next generation, and ensure they are a first-choice for future learners.

Colleges Scotland has today launched its 2026 Election Manifesto – Opportunity That Works – urging all political parties to commit to long-term, sustainable investment in Scotland’s colleges ahead of the Scottish Parliament election. The manifesto sets out a clear call for action: the next Scottish Government can ensure colleges continue to drive Scotland’s economic growth, tackle skills shortages, and support communities facing poverty, with sustainable long-term funding.
