Colleges play a crucial role in widening access into education for learners with additional needs and those from deprived communities. By providing opportunities in our communities, colleges help reduce poverty and promote social inclusion. Colleges are a key driver for the Developing the Young Workforce (DYW) agenda through their partnerships with local schools, universities and businesses across Scotland. Through these partnerships, colleges are able to provide the right courses to students that match the demands of local economies around the country. 12 Access for All 27% of school leavers go 19% of all learning hours into further education were delivered to students requiring additional learning support 23% of students studying higher education in colleges are from Scotland’s most 7% of all enrolments were deprived areas students from minority ethnic backgrounds 31% of full-time students are from Scotland’s most Since 2006 90% of the deprived areas growth in entry to university by disadvantaged students has been through colleges 14% of students have a disclosed disability, of which dyslexia is the most commonly reported disability 13 Developing a Skilled Workforce 81% of Scottish employers recruiting college leavers found them well prepared for work Care continues to have the largest number of enrolments linked to industry 8,759 Over 38,000 (17%) students are studying in colleges as part of their occupation 14 66,867 (29%) students are enrolled in STEM subjects in colleges 300 school pupils undertook Foundation Apprenticeships in nine colleges across six industry sectors 10,365 students in colleges are on Modern Apprenticeship programmes 15 Economic Contribution of Colleges An independent study, by economic modelling specialists EMSI, on the economic value of Scotland’s colleges – looking at both the investment analysis and an economic impact analysis – showed that colleges deliver £14.9 billion for the Scottish economy each year, representing 8.8 per cent of the total economic output of the nation. 16 Every £1 that learners invest in their education at college yields £6.30 in higher future wages. This translates to a 14.8% annual return on their investment. Taxpayers see an average annual return of 15.6% on their investment in the sector. The corresponding benefit-cost ratio is £5.70 in benefits returned for every £1 in costs. Society will receive £6.30 in benefits in return for every £1 invested in Scotland’s colleges. The average annual return on investment is16.4% . 17 Innovative and Sustainable Institutions To deliver the best learning experience possible, colleges are constantly investing in upgrading campuses to provide modern, fit for purpose facilities for students. In the last ten years £650m has been spent on modernising college campuses across Scotland. 18 The college sector is committed to ensuring that its workforce is professional, modern and fit for the future to deliver the highest quality of learning and teaching. Colleges regularly recruit lecturers from industry backgrounds or second staff back to industry to guarantee that students learn from experienced professionals with knowledge of current practices. As well as industry experience, 88% of college lecturers have a formally recognised teaching qualification. 19 Working Regionally 18 There are 26* colleges in 13 regions across Scotland. This allows them to 16 plan regionally and deliver locally. 15 Colleges work within 13 their regions to deliver high quality 14 12 1 learning that meets 26 students’ demands, 19 employers’ requirements 22 17 and society’s needs. 27 6 11 8 7 9 20 27 5 23 25 *includes Newbattle Abbey College and 10 24 21 Sabhal Mòr Ostaig UHI which sit outwith 3 regional arrangements. 2 SRUC is a higher education institution 27 which delivers further education provision. 4 20 Region College Aberdeen and Aberdeenshire 1.

  • Assignation of Argyll College to the Regional Strategic Body for the Highlands and Islands, the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI)
    Assignation of Argyll College to the Regional Strategic Body for the Highlands and Islands, the University of the Highlands and Islands (UHI) Consultation Paper May 2018 ASSIGNATION OF ARGYLL COLLEGE TO THE REGIONAL STRATEGIC BODY FOR THE HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS, THE UNIVERSITY OF THE HIGHLANDS AND ISLANDS (UHI) CONSULTATION PAPER SECTION 1: INTRODUCTION 1.1 The college sector was restructured in 2014 to create 13 regions, three of which are served by more than one college. In the three multi-college regions, colleges were assigned to a Regional Strategic Body (RSB). The RSB is responsible for securing provision of fundable further and higher education in its region. 1.2 On 1 August 2014, the University of Highlands and Islands (UHI) became the RSB for the Highlands and Islands, and those colleges in the region that were already fundable bodies listed in schedule 2 to the Further and Higher Education (Scotland) Act 2005 (“the 2005 Act”) – i.e. colleges directly funded by the Scottish Further and Higher Education Funding Council (“the SFC”) – were assigned to UHI. From that date, UHI assumed all of the responsibilities of RSB for the region, other than the direct funding of assigned colleges, responsibility for which was subsequently transferred from the SFC in April 2015. 1.3 Argyll College (“the College”) is located within the Highlands and Islands region and should therefore be assigned to UHI as the RSB to ensure appropriate accountability across the region. However, as the College was not already a fundable body listed in schedule 2 to the 2005 Act, it could only be assigned to UHI if the SFC proposed or approved the assignation.
