The resulting boycott covers student results but does not restrict or preclude the setting nor marking of assessment tasks or work to be assessed. This should be made clear to students by individual members. A resulting boycott is aimed at putting pressure on employers not on students – as soon as the dispute is resolved then the marks with-held may be shared/submitted. To have peers who have had a lot of the same experiences as me has been a totally different experience and it’s helped me feel more comfortable and confident." The national EIS-FELA body has been demonstrating outside the Scottish Parliament and has called on the Scottish Government to fix the national crisis affecting colleges, so they recognise it is a national issue. It doesn’t make any sense to go out on local strikes on a national funding issue as it can’t change anything. This boycott covers all results from any assessed work; with members refusing to share, enter or record student assessment results with: - Any college systems. - Any colleagues. - Any third parties/awarding bodies/external verifiers (such as the SQA). If the college requests a member to record or share specific student marks, the member is advised to explain that they are participating in lawful industrial action and will not, therefore, enter nor share any results.
Congratulations to all our colleagues at the City of Glasgow College on their outstanding success within the 2022 EFQM Global Awards. The high-ranking award of 7 diamonds achieved within the assessment is a testament to the rigor and dedication that the whole college possesses, providing a high-quality and innovative learning environment that students thrive within.

action itself to decide whether they participate in it. It is only after the industrial action has begun that you need respond to your employer, if asked, to state that you are/have taken industrial action. Any request before the industrial action begins should be met with a response that states that EIS has informed you that the legal notice has been given and that you are not required to set out further information about your intentions. If you have been given a class that was taught by a colleague has been made redundant through voluntary severance then please no longer teach this class. Please advise your line manager/course coordinator on the first day of industrial action. They’re talking about this in purely financial terms but if you think about it like that, what’s then the effect on society?
The lecturers are more chilled, they understand you a lot better and they understand what kind of help and support you’re going to need." Cuts by stealth are creeping in. When we started a full-time programme was 24 hours per week for a young person, now that’s been reduced to 14.The college budget allocation is a flat cash settlement but with inflation running at 10%, this is a significant and unsustainable 10% real terms cut, which has unfortunately left us with no option other than bringing forward proposals for compulsory redundancies, which are subject to ongoing consultation. We have been forced to take these steps because our jobs are at risk from the financial cuts and changes to working conditions that College management are imposing. This will mean that we will have less teaching time with students and will be given more classes to teach. It also means that some courses will be cut and some lecturers will lose their jobs. A City of Glasgow College spokesperson said: “All Scottish colleges face substantial funding and financial challenges from real-terms cuts, plus high energy, inflation and staff costs. It is the best rating for any educational institution in EFQM’s 30-year history, and I’m very proud of my colleagues whose devotion to ‘Let Learning Flourish’ enables our students to study in such an excellent environment and leave us with the necessary qualifications and work-ready skills to succeed in the workforce.”
