Lecturers warn of recruitment crisis at newly merged college - HeraldScotland

LECTURERS have warned of a student recruitment crisis at a newly merged college.

Unions representing staff at Glasgow Kelvin College have written to members to highlight "deep concerns" over recruitment for the next academic session.

The newsletter from the Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS), which incorporates the Further Education Lecturers Association, said some courses were well below expected levels while others were oversubscribed.

A spokeswoman for the college accepted some issues had been encountered earlier in the year, but said recruitment levels were now where expected with some 4,500 offers made out of a total capacity of 5,000 full-time students.

A similar situation in other 'merged' colleges?
