Scottish government failing on green jobs, says Clark

A SOCIALIST MSP slammed the SNP-Green Scottish government today for its “non-existent” pathway to new green jobs.

Labour West of Scotland MSP Katy Clark has written to embattled SNP Further Education Minister Graeme Dey calling for action following the publication of the Scottish Funding Council’s college statistics for 2022-23.

They showed a drop in the numbers of college students studying green courses such as environment protection or energy by 0.4 per cent to only 0.2 per cent, while only 0.5 per cent — one in 200 — of students are studying production and manufacturing.
