Footnotes

1. In 2012, the Scottish Government undertook work to regionalise colleges in Scotland, which led to the establishing of 13 college regions and the merging of colleges. Boards of regional colleges provide governance oversight of colleges and are responsible for the planning and delivery of learning and for ensuring value for money.

2. Assigned colleges exist in regions where there are multiple colleges. These colleges are assigned to a single Regional Strategic Board. There are three multi-college regions; Glasgow, Lanarkshire and the Highlands and Islands.
