UKIP Scotland Leader David Coburn today launched an attack on the SNP's record on Further Education Colleges:

By cutting college education, the SNP are callously reducing opportunities for ordinary people to improve their career prospects and their lot in life.

The deepest are to part time place, disproportionally affecting lone places and those on limited income struggling to study without having to work. The SNP cannot claim to be the party for working people whilst cutting the very services that improve social mobility. Education is devolved and the SNP alone are responsible for the 152000 less Scots who have enrolled in colleges across the country under their watch.
