We're grateful to Richard Leonard for raising the issue of cuts to colleges in parliament.
College cuts hurt the most marginalised in society, the new FM must reverse them.

We asked students what message they would send to the new First Minister, here's one message.
John Swinney must fight for students and staff, and reverse devastating cuts to college budgets.

And most important of all:
“Every student benefits from an international experience: that our universities are global campuses means we all become exposed to new ideas, to global collaboration, learn from each other and expand our horizons.”

Students have been sending us their messages to the new First Minister.
This student wants John Swinney to address the shocking rate of student homelessness.

🚨Today as John Swinney was confirmed as the new First Minister, NUS Scotland President Ellie Gomersall 🍉 wrote to him calling on him to take three key actions to demonstrate his government’s commitment to supporting students.

I have zero energy for this nonsense argument. I say that as a former NUS Scotland president and Commissioner on the fair access review; the landscape has changed and an honest conversation is required urgently on ALL post-16 skills and education funding, before institutions fail
🤝When we met with John Swinney at SNP conference he committed to working with us to end student homelessness.
Join us in holding him to that commitment, and asking his government to support students.

✍️ As Ellie Gomersall 🍉 set out in her letter to the new First Minister, the Scottish Government's first priority should be to reverse the cuts to colleges.
A better, brighter future requires the government to fight for students and staff now.
