The Tertiary Education and Training (Funding and Governance) (Scotland) Bill was created to simplify the funding landscape for post-school education and training. It was introduced on 05 February 2025.
The Bill is in three main parts.
Part 1 focuses on funding arrangements for:
- Scottish apprenticeships
- Work-based learning
- Training for employment
Under the Bill, the Scottish Further and Higher Education Funding Council (SFC) would need to ensure that Scottish apprenticeships and work-based learning are available.
Scottish Ministers would also need to provide support for the delivery of Scottish apprenticeships and work-based learning.
Part 2 of the Bill makes changes to the governance of the SFC including:
- The reappointment of members
- What skills and experience should be reflected on the Council
- The use of co-opted members
- The requirement for a new apprenticeship committee to be created
Part 3 of the Bill clarifies the process for providing student support to Scottish students studying at private institutions in the UK, putting it on a clearer statutory footing.
