Scotlands colleges of further education are often referred to as the cinderella of education. Originally they were set up to provide vocational training they developed their role to provide a combination of vocational training and more general education. If I can quote from the ASCOL(Association of Scottish Colleges) website "There are 46 colleges across Scotland delivering half a million students enrolments each year. The FE sector is the largest provider of lifelong learning in Scotland - reaching 13% of the working age population in Scotland each year.

Scotland's colleges provide easy local access to learning opportunities and are strongly rooted in their communities. By working with a wide range of local partners to deliver high quality and flexible learning which meets the needs of individuals, communities and employers, colleges are transforming lives and transforming Scotland."
