This is the list of documents available for the submission By Councillor Helen Stephen:- "Council is deeply concerned at funding cuts to the provision of further and higher education; believes these to have a severe impact upon the delivery of lifelong learning across the city and throughout Scotland; notes Unison's report 'Learning the Hard Way', which revealed a majority of college staff believe services for students have declined, are extremely doubtful that services will improve within the next year and that 9 in 10 believe Scottish colleges are underfunded; notes reports from the Scottish Funding Council of an almost 40% drop in the number of enrolments, with 34,000 part-time college places lost in Glasgow between 2008-09 and 2013-14; is particularly concerned that women and those returning to education are disproportionately affected; further notes the recent announcement by the Scottish Government of a task group to examine College Governance and instructs the Chief Executive to write to the Cabinet Secretary for Lifelong Learning to relay Council's belief that staff, student associations and trade unions should be central to this investigation and that the wider issue of college funding should be central to the task group's remit.".
