One of 4 wider access forums helping to deliver national priorities locally
The South East Forum (SEF) is a unique partnership of 18 colleges and universities across the South East of Scotland to widen access to college and university.
The South East Forum’s aim is to improve the life chances of disadvantaged groups for a more successful and inclusive Scotland; placing learners at the centre of our thinking and adding value to the good work of others in the spirit of collaboration and partnership.
The South East Forum's 2008/09 Annual Report is now available.
The annual report this year provides details of the impact that our work with schools and adults has made. There are case studies and evidence of the partnerships that support the work that is achieved.
On Thursday 28th January 2010 The University of Stirling hosted a reception to mark the 21st birthday of the Scottish Wider Access Programme.
In those 21 years, more than 30,000 adults from all over Scotland have been helped to realise their dream of studying at university, thanks to collaboration between SWAP partners and the dedication of the college tutors.
The South East Forum funds the work of SWAP-East along with the Fife & Tayside Forum.
