That the Parliament commends South Lanarkshire College, in East Kilbride, for supporting a group of asylum seekers; understands that the nine students, all fleeing from Somalia, were looking for opportunities to train or study when the college stepped in to offer support; further understands that the students started their course on the 16 March 2022 and will be supported through a 12-week study course learning basic National 2 and 3 English, and wishes the students all the very best in their further education and for their future in Scotland.
