Students could end up studying at merged institutions

Legislation to reform Scotland's colleges could create a "nationally incoherent" system of further education, a union has claims.

The Educational Institute of Scotland (EIS) has criticised the "complexity" of the changes proposed by the Scottish government.

The Post-16 Education (Scotland) Bill aims to regionalise further education.

The Scottish government said it would provide flexibility to govern colleges and save £50m a year.
