Plans to merge three Glasgow colleges have been approved by the Scottish government.

Ministers said educational benefits for students were at the heart of their decision to back the £300m proposals.

They said there was a “strong expectation” that there would be no compulsory redundancies as a result of merging Glasgow’s Nautical, Central and Metropolitan Colleges.

The new City of Glasgow College will have up to 50,000 students.
