Earlier this year, staff from Dundee and Angus College reached out to QMS via the Skills for Farming Group to highlight that the college had made the decision to drop their land-based courses from September 2022, following a £1.5m reduction in funding. Conscious of the negative impact this would have on the industry and to young people in the Tayside and Angus area, the Scottish Red Meat Resilience Group compiled a letter highlighting these concerns to the institution’s management, as well as to the Cabinet Secretary for Rural Affairs and Islands and the Cabinet Secretary for Education and Skills.
