Borders College Receives Glowing Report

Lodged by Christine Grahame Standard Motion 16 supporters

The motion

That the Parliament recognises the positive findings of Education Scotland following its annual visit to Borders College; understands that the inspectors identified numerous significant strengths in the college's operations, including industrial placements with local employers, and highlighted several positive areas of activity and innovation during the visit; further understands that the report emphasised that full-time Further Education courses at Borders College surpass the sector average for learner success in Scotland and consistently achieve a completion rate exceeding the sector norm over the past four years; appreciates that Borders College Students’ Association (BCSA) was also praised for its work in representing students and in providing student activities with the work of achievement coaches also singled out for praise for providing discreet and appropriate support for students who, it understands, are reluctant to disclose some of their own personal learning requirements, and believes that Borders College stands as a positive example in the sector and that having such an institution in the Borders is an asset for local young people and those retraining or returning to learning later in life.
