The Scottish Government has been urged to withdraw legislation aimed at reforming the college and university sector.
The Post-16 Education (Scotland) Bill was heavily criticised during a stage one debate.
It proposes “college regionalisation” and sets out plans to widen access to universities and limit tuition fees for students coming from the rest of the UK.
But opposition parties described the Bill as “badly drafted” and that questions about the proposals it contains remain unanswered.
Organisations from the college and university sector and all three opposition parties on the Education Committee “have all raised repeated and serious questions about the Bill”.
