NUS Scotland is calling on all political parties and candidates for the 2026 Scottish Parliament election to commit to a fair deal for our future.
The post 16 education system in Scotland is under pressure. The rising cost of living, insecure and overpriced housing and systemic underfunding mean it is not working for students or Scotland. But we can change this; we have the chance to build a world-leading education system, one that invests in learners, strengthens our economy, and delivers fairness for every student.
This manifesto is based on consultation with thousands of students and student representatives across Scotland, from conversations on campus to polling and policy debates; this is the collective voice of Scotland's students. The question is, are you listening?
