THE SNP Scottish government must plough its multibillion-pound budget funding boost into the nation’s education system, Labour has urged.
The party’s Scottish education spokesperson Pam Duncan-Glancy issued the challenge after colleges across the country lurched towards insolvency following a £32.7 million cut in their budgets this year by the Scottish government.
The cut was the latest blow of a 17 per cent real-terms cut in funding since 2021.
