Solidarity with staff! ✊ NUS Scotland stands with those striking across the country. The job loss crisis in our universities is the result of a decade of underinvestment. Without job security for workers, students won't thrive. The Scottish Government must act.

Despite modest improvements in funding, yesterday's Scottish budget fell short of the ambition for education that Scotland's students need to see.

On the 13th of January, the Scottish Government must invest in education and support students if they want to see the education system survive. www.nus-scotland.org.uk/nus-scotland...

Sai spoke to the National about yesterday's UK budget and the need to end age-based wage discrimination. Join the campaign against wage discrimination by age: www.nus-scotland.org.uk/a_fair_deal_...

❤️ 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 Thank you to all the attendees of a wonderful democratic event last week. 🗳 With less than 200 days until the Scottish Parliament Elections, it was brilliant to come together to prioritise and plan campaigns for what students and apprentices need.

In 10 years, Scottish universities have seen a 22% funding cut, and Scottish colleges have seen a 20% cut in just four years! We're campaigning for an end to austerity in higher and further education. Get involved in the campaign by signing our petition www.nus-scotland.org.uk/save-our-sco...

On Saturday, Scotland came together to Demand Better! A brilliant day where we called for an end to poverty and for investment in our country and communities – including real education funding and student support. Photo Credit: Adam Currie

This survey is still running, take part!

We're angry. Two reports in the last week have shown that the Scottish Government is risking the future of our education system by underfunding our colleges. www.nus-scotland.org.uk/national_uni...

The Housing Bill passed! This is a win for renters across Scotland, but we must go further. Real regulation of student accommodation is winnable. We can end exploitative rents, unfair deposits, & unsafe living conditions. Let’s fight until we fix student housing for good!

Tell the Scottish Government to guarantee the future of the Alloa campus at Forth Valley College! Use the tool to quickly and easily email Graeme Dey, the Minister for Higher and Further Education www.nus-scotland.org.uk/save_forth_v...

We're calling on the Scottish Government to prevent the closure of Forth Valley College's Alloa campus and to stop underfunding colleges. Students 🤝 Staff www.nus-scotland.org.uk/national_stu...

More than a quarter of students unable to afford to get to class and more than a million people living in poverty. Let's demand better! Join us and thousands of others at the Scotland Demands Better March on Saturday the 25th of October. RSVP: www.nus-scotland.org.uk/scotland_dem...

Homelessness is at a crisis point in Scotland, and it's the most disadvantaged who are hit hardest. We need to demand better. RSVP to join us at the Scotland Demands Better March on the 25th October www.nus-scotland.org.uk/scotland_dem...

Poverty has been accepted as a fact of life but it shouldn't be. We can demand better. RSVP to join us at the Scotland Demands Better March on the 25th October, www.nus-scotland.org.uk/scotland_dem...

We’re marching on Saturday 25th October to demand better for Scotland. Too many of us are going hungry, can't afford rent, or can't afford the bus. Let's demand better. RSVP now to let us know you're coming! www.nus-scotland.org.uk/march

We have practical solutions to reduce poverty and inequality, and to create a stable foundation to build a better future. We invite politicians to listen to the thousands of voices that will be raised together at the #ScotlandDemandsBetter march and rally. www.dailyrecord.co.uk/news/politic...

We're at the Celtic Connections event at @strathunion.bsky.social today looking at connections and shared future of student life both here and in Ireland. Great to have our President Sai on a panel looking at the challenges student unions and students are facing.

Supported by the Scottish Government, @cyberscotland.com is offering free cybersecurity training for all students in tertiary education. Designed to help you navigate cyberthreats relevant to student life, the training is easy to follow and takes less than an hour. student.cyberscotland.com

Today, our president Sai is at the @royalsoced.bsky.social conference on the funding of tertiary education in Scotland. We're excited to contribute, listen, and learn while ensuring that student and apprentice voices and needs are central to the conversation.

Sai appeared on ITV Border last week, advocating for greater support for students and the education sector in Scotland. She highlighted the challenges facing college and university students, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds.

We were glad to have Sai join the First Minister for a roundtable on the impact of the UK Government’s Immigration White Paper. Cuts to the graduate route visa and hostile measures to reduce the number of international students and migrants will damage Scotland’s education sector and communities.

The UK Government's immigration white paper is inhumane and will hurt students and the education system. Join us in opposing the changes to the Graduate Route Visa www.nus-scotland.org.uk/keep_the_gra...

Student campaigning is paying off! The Housing Committee has voted for positive amendments to the housing bill to regulate student housing. Let's keep up the momentum and end exploitative practices like guarantor requirements. Write to your MSP today: www.nus-scotland.org.uk/write-to-msp...

EmilyTest are running the first ever Scotland only survey on gender-based violence (GBV) in tertiary education. If you are 18+ and a student, recent grad, or staff at a Scottish college or university, please spare a few minutes to complete this survey. app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/edinburgh/...

Together with NUS Scotland, STUC and all the campus unions, we’re asking the Minister to fix the crisis in Scotland’s education system! #SaveHE #StopTheCuts

This morning we’ve sent the Higher and Further Education Minister, Graeme Dey MSP, a letter demanding that the Scottish Government take greater action to address the crises in the Scottish education system. Want to sign?: www.nus-scotland.org.uk/letter_to_mi...

Along with @lgbtiscotland.bsky.social, we've published our reaction to the judgement in the UK Supreme Court today. There will be more we want to say to trans people directly once we have a chance to catch our breath. www.equality-network.org/uk-supreme-c...

We'd urge people not to panic - there will be lots of commentary coming out quickly that is likely to deliberately overstate the impact that this decision is going to have on all trans people's lives. We'll say more as soon as we're able to. Please look out for yourselves and each other today 💗🏳️‍⚧️

FWS have won their case against the Scottish Government. We will be reading the judgement as quickly as possible so we can properly understand what the Court has decided today.

We are delighted that Glasgow School of Art Student's Association is going to be joining NUS after their students overwhelmingly voted YES to NUS! We can't wait to see their contributions to the student movement as we all come together to fight for a better funded and fairer education system.

'You're trying to drill a hole in your own ceiling when your neighbour's roof is leaking' 👏 Our president Sai was on the radio last week, defending students and publicly funded education. Bringing in tuition fees in Scotland to address a crisis happening across the UK makes no sense.

Planned cuts at Edinburgh University exemplify the growing crisis in education. The government must reverse the trend of falling education funding. We support @ucuscotland.bsky.social's call for the university to use its significant wealth to protect jobs & courses. buff.ly/t7lRphH

£6.40 is not enough to live on. We believe every worker should receive a Real Living Wage and apprentices are workers too. That's why we support @nusscotland.bsky.social and @nsoapprentices.bsky.social's call for a Real Living Wage for apprentices. Join the call: www.nsoa.org.uk/living-wage

We want to know What Students Think! 7,500 students and apprentices fed into our General Election manifesto using our interactive website, and now it's back! Any UK student and apprentice can take part to influence the future of student campaigns. www.whatstudentsthink.org.uk/have-your-say

The Scottish Housing Bill must be stronger to tackle the housing crisis and help students and all renters. @living-rent.bsky.social is gathering evidence on tenants' experiences in a survey to ensure the bill is as strong as possible. Take the survey: forms.gle/XVe2twDA3Hzt...

Educational exchange programs need to be more accessible to students. Last week Sai gave evidence to the Scottish parliament's external affairs and culture committee on how well the UK Turing scheme and SEEP (Scottish Education Exchange Programme) have ran since the UK left the Erasmus+ scheme.

Students & apprentices need rent controls that bring rents down to affordable levels! Last week Sai spoke to the Scottish Parliament's housing committee about the formula the government is proposing that will only slow rent rises. Support the campaign, write to your MSPs: https://buff.ly/3EpggaJ
