THE Scottish government was accused today of failing to intervene in a college sector pay dispute.

Scottish Labour education spokeswoman Pam Duncan-Glancy wrote to Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth to demand she puts “an end to the sector’s crisis” and instructs further education minister Graeme Dey to “step up.”

The long-running pay dispute dates back to 2022 and has involved strike days, including in May and June.
