Local MP Michael Moore has described Borders College as ‘the best in Scotland’ following performance data released by the Scottish Funding Council.

The data showed that for 2013-14, the College had:

  • the highest student success rate of any college in Scotland for further education
  • the second highest rate for higher education students at college
  • the highest rate for learners with disabilities
  • the highest rate for learners in a second or subsequent year of their course.

Mr Moore has congratulated staff and students alike.

“I want to congratulate the students, the teaching staff and the management at Borders College on their exceptional performance in 2013-14.

“This data from the SFC clearly demonstrates that Borders College is the best in Scotland, with fantastic success rates particularly among disabled students and students in further education."

– Michael Moore, MP for Berwickshire, Roxburgh and Selkirk
