Welcome to refurbished Edinburgh College EIS FELA website: Reinstate Kevin Scally.

Thank you for visiting our refurbished website.

We have relaunched our site to keep everyone informed about the current campaign to have our colleague Kevin Scally reinstated to his job as a Lecturer at Edinburgh College.

 

Kevin, was sacked from his Lecturer post by Edinburgh College in June. On this site you will find a range of resources showing why this has happened, how the standard of education at Edinburgh College is under threat, and suggestions about what you can do to protect the service to education that Kevin and lecturers like him provide week in, week out.

 

For a quick introduction to Kevin’s personal story you can watch his video by clicking READ MORE:
