Stuart McMillan MSP, (SNP West of Scotland) has today welcomed the recent announcement by the Scottish Government that accelerated funding of £20.5 million has been brought forward. The Scottish Government has brought forward the capital in response to current economic conditions in order to create and maintain modern facilities where people can get the skills and qualifications they need to get into work, remain in work and contribute to Scotland's economic future.
Mr McMillan said;
"I welcome the announcement by the Scottish Government that they are to bring forward capital investment to help higher education.
"This funding will see James Watt College benefit to the sum of £675,000, which is an increase of around 38% from capital allocation in 2008/09.
"It is important that the Scottish Government invest in future generations and this acceleration of capital allocation will allow many more people in Scotland to benefit from Higher Education, which can only help Scotland's economy through a better educated workforce who are more able to undertake employment."
