Rejected petition Prevent a planned ‘pause’ to Moray School of Art’s courses
We would like tho government to reaffirm its commitment to boost education and jobs in the creative sector by preventing the cessation of courses at the Moray School of Art, Elgin, Moray as part of the University of the Highlands and Islands.
More details
Students have learned in the last three weeks that their places on courses at the Moray School of Art have been reneged suddenly in an unexpected U-turn. Those in the middle of their study will merely gain credits that will not allow them any qualifications. The deadline for transfer to another college for this year has also elapsed leaving the students high and dry. Other colleges are oversubscribed making any relocation unlikely.
