Academic Awards and Distinctions (SRUC) (Scotland) Order of Council 2024 (SSI 2024/219)
Good morning, and welcome to the 23rd meeting in 2024 of the Education, Children and Young People Committee. We have apologies from Stephanie Callaghan MSP.
Before we start, Pam Duncan-Glancy would like to make a statement.
Good morning. I want to declare an interest with regard to today’s evidence taking, particularly the second panel, when we will hear from Barry Black. As he has noted in his submission, which has been given in advance, Barry has carried out policy development work for me. As such, I will not be directing any questions towards him this morning. Thank you.
Thank you for that.
Agenda item 1 is consideration of a piece of subordinate legislation. The purpose of this order of council, which is being considered under the negative procedure, is to specify Scotland’s Rural College as a higher education institution competent to grant degrees, diplomas, certificates and other academic awards or distinctions, not including those made on completion of a programme of supervised research.
If members have no comments to make, does the committee agree that it does not wish to make any recommendations on the order of council?
Members indicated agreement.
