A new report has revealed that 70.3 per cent of fulltime students successfully completed their studies at Highlands and Islands colleges in the 2017 to 2018 academic year.
This is higher than the national average figure, which shows that 66.1 per cent of students passed further education courses at Scottish colleges in the period. The region’s results are also higher than the previous year, increasing by 2.8 percentage points.
The statistics were published in the Scottish Funding Council’s college performance indicators report this week. The number of part-time students who successfully completed their courses at Highlands and Islands colleges was also found to be higher than average.
