Graphic with a pink to purple gradient background, black text on white reads: 'Students in Scotland are watching this government’s final budget before the election closely. For too long, we have heard warm words about the value of education, while watching our colleges and universities crumble under the weight of underfunding.” "Education is the single best economic investment we can make. It is a social good that drives our economy and our society.

Graphic with a pink to purple gradient background, black text on white reads: 'Our colleges are the engines of social mobility. When you cut college funding, you aren't just trimming a spreadsheet; you are closing the door on opportunity for the working class.

Sai spoke to the National about yesterday's UK budget and the need to end age-based wage discrimination.

“The Westminster Government need to start delivering for young people in Scotland.

We welcome the increase in minimum wage, apprentice wage, and the national living wage.

This progress is a testament to the tireless campaigning of apprentices and young people across Scotland and the UK.

But while the increase brings minimum wage slightly closer to the national living wage; age-based wage discrimination remains.”

In the last decade, Scottish universities have seen a 22% drop in the funding they receive per student and Scottish colleges have seen a 20% cut to funding in just four years!

Everyone has a right to a good education, but that is being put at risk.

Many colleges and universities are struggling to stay afloat; some have cut courses, frozen staff recruitment, reduced teaching time and begun looking at forced redundancies.

We need the Scottish Government to fund tertiary education properly. Join the call for a well-funded education system.
