We produce Official and National Statistics covering Further and Higher Education in Scotland. These support our work with colleges and universities to measure and improve performance across the sectors.

We invest around £2 billion a year in Scotland's 19 universities and 26 colleges (within 13 college regions) for learning and teaching, skills development, research and innovation, staff, buildings and equipment. Each college and university sets out in its Outcome Agreement what it plans to deliver (in line with Ministerial priorities and SFC’s strategic plan) in return for SFC funding.

This funding should continue to develop the capacity of universities to offer short, flexible provision to allow people to upskill or reskill in strategically important curriculum areas to facilitate continued economic recovery and transformation.
