There are embedded inequalities to be addressed in the postCovid
world - social, educational and employment outcomes
- for which socio-economic exclusion will be challenged by
supporting Inclusive economic regrowth.
Our strategic approach will be to challenge positively poverty

and respect, protecting diversity, and optimizing the strengths
of all stakeholders.
We will hold as a guiding principle our moral obligations as a
civic anchor to respect, protect, fulfill, and enhance human
rights.

Start Scotland.

significant relationship shifts as a consequence of Covid-19,
Brexit, and the Scottish Independence debate. The College's
strategy will prioritise the following
• Alignment with policy and the need for more learning
partnerships

Performance Framework
• Demonstrating clear Return on Investment by the
College to Government
The College will take a lead role in working with Government
and its agencies, and with other senior stakeholders in
influencing and leading policy and political thinking,
particularly in the reform of Scotland's tertiary learning
system following the 2020 review.
