Question

To ask the Scottish Government whether it will publish, on an annual basis and alongside existing widening access reporting, a breakdown of funded intake targets for controlled subjects by student domicile.


Answer

The Scottish Funding Council (SFC) publish a wide range of college and university statistics in various Official Statistics publications, including the Report on Widening Access (RoWA). The content of statical publications, including the RoWA, undergo reviews in order to ensure they continue to meet the core pillars of Trustworthiness, Quality and Value as outlined in the Code of Practice for Statistics and remain valued by users of SFC’s publications.

The RoWA was recently consulted on with the latest report available on the SFC website: https://www.sfc.ac.uk/publications/rowa-consultation-report/

The SFC continue to work with users of statistics and will consider all requests for new statistics in line with the Code of Practice for Statistics.
