Edinburgh College lecturers staged a walkout after being told three courses are to be completely cut from the syllabus.
The courses of events management, retail and stone masonry are proposed to be removed from the Sighthill site. Unions fear up to 180 jobs being put at risk over the four college campuses with the possibility of other scaled back courses.
A ballot in the next few weeks for industrial action will follow the walk-out that happened at 1pm across all of Edinburgh College campuses with frustration by students and lecturers about the proposals.
