Summer support for students: review
We recognise the need to deliver a long-term sustainable solution for supporting students over the summer months. This report details interim recommendations, progress to date and the next steps to achieving our long term goal of tackling inequality.
Next Steps
We continue to work towards our long term goal to provide year round support to students at the level of the Living Wage.
We are currently working to provide all higher education undergraduate students with the option to receive their student support payments over a 12 month period. This follows on from the option being provided to students in receipt of the Care Experienced Bursary from 2022/23 AY.
On 7 June, the Scottish Government published the final report on the Independent Review of the Skills Delivery Landscape. The Review sets out fifteen recommendations which would amount to significant reform of the delivery landscape for post-school education and skills. As a result of this, we now need to consider the current student support system as it operates and ensure that it is fit for the future.
