ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We would like to acknowledge the support and guidance we received in the preparation of this report from the Scottish Government, in particular John Jellema, Colin MacBean and Margaret Sutor. Euan Carmichael of the Scottish Further and Higher Education Funding Council (Scottish Funding Council) and Howard McKenzie representing the Association of Scotland's Colleges also provided valuable input to the steering group.
We are also grateful to staff from colleges who took the time to meet with us and supply us with data as well as the many students who participated in the survey.
Any errors in the report and the interpretation that has been placed on the data is our responsibility.
