The Glasgow Colleges' Regional Board (GCRB) has published its Self Evaluation on Regional Effectiveness.
The GCRB report provides a review of the performance of the Glasgow College Region across key areas: regional planning and provision, regional performance and productivity, and regional partnerships and people.
The Board welcomed the Scottish Funding Council, college representatives and partner organisations to review the region's progress, as part of a recommended approach by the Scottish Government.
GCRB's Chair Janie McCusker said: "It is our pleasure to outline our significant progress in developing the capacity, structures and effective relationships needed to deliver the high quality and coherent college system that Glasgow and its learners deserve.
"In Glasgow, we are progressing well towards achieving our ambition of being Scotland’s most inclusive, responsive and effective regional college service.
"Our achievements are a direct result of committed collaboration between the Glasgow Colleges' Regional Board, the colleges and all our stakeholders.
"On behalf of the Board, I’d like to thank all those who have contributed to our effective progress and all those who continue to work towards fulfilling our ambitions for Glasgow, its colleges and its learners."
The report evidences the work to build consistent regional college provision, to align learning with jobs and Glasgow’s economic growth, and to create wider access to life changing college education.
The Audit Scotland report ‘Scotland’s Colleges 2018’ recommended that the Scottish Government and Scottish Funding Council (SFC) should assess and publicly report on the extent to which Regional Strategic Boards are meeting the aims of regionalisation.
