First Minister John Swinney is quizzed by opposition party leaders at his weekly Holyrood Q&A
Taxes and spending on the college sector dominate the exchanges between the FM and Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay
Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar insists Swinney fails to see the value of the country's colleges, and asks what he will do to stop the closure of the Forth Valley Campus in Alloa
The FM says 93% of Scotland's young people go on to "positive destinations", including work, training and further study at university and college. He adds that his government will do all it can to "protect the future of the Alloa campus"
A new Audit Scotland report says there has been a 20% real-terms funding cut to college funding

Findlay says SNP income tax rises mean most Scots may now pay more tax than people doing the same job elsewhere in the UK.
He says there is a threat of more tax rises as UK chancellor Rachel Reeves has refused to rule out putting them up in her budget
"Labour won't be upfront about tax rises so will the SNP?" he asks.
"Will John Swinney rule out any tax rises for workers in Scotland in his next budget?"
Swinney acknowledges the pressure on families.
He says his government is addressing this through measures such as abolishing peak rail fares.
But he says one of the reasons the economy has struggled is Brexit - which is the Conservatives' responsibility.

He says an analysis of ONS data reveals the average household in Scotland has less disposable income than when the SNP came to power in 2007.
"He must surely be ashamed of that fact," he says.
Scottish Tory leader Russell Findlay rises to ask John Swinney the first question.
He begins by paying his respects to the Jewish community in Manchester after this morning's attack.
Swinney also expresses his horror at the attack on a synagogue.
Image source, Getty ImagesThe issue of single sex toilets in schools and workplaces has been in the news this week.
New guidance for schools issued by Holyrood said separate toilet for boys and girls must be available in all schools, although gender neutral facilities can also be provided.
However, when Education Secretary Jenny Gilruth was asked in a BBC interview if it would now be acceptable for a boy who identifies as a girl to use the female toilets, she said she could not comment on individual cases.
Schools had previously been told that pupils could use whatever toilets they felt most comfortable in and some schools only had mixed-sex facilities.
In April, the Supreme Court ruled that a woman is defined by biological sex under equalities law and two months later a judge ordered that six Scottish schools must provide single-sex toilets for pupils.
The updated Scottish government guidance says that under the law toilet facilities must be "made available on the basis of biological sex".
Workplace toilet and changing provision for women has also been under scrutiny by tribunal courts in Scotland - the latest being a claim against aerospace company Leonardo UK in Edinburgh.
NHS Fife, which is awaiting a judgment in the case brought by nurse Sandy Peggie, has this week told to use facilities which correspond with their "sex at birth" over their gender identity.

Further education college funding has been a big issue this week.
Colleges across Scotland have experienced a 20% cut in real-term funding, the public spending watchdog has warned in a new report.
Audit Scotland said an “extremely difficult financial landscape” means many will have to further reduce their services at a time when they are already struggling to meet demands of students.
Stephen Boyle, auditor general for Scotland, warned that colleges are being forced to change how they operate "rather than trying to deliver more of the same with decreasing resources".
Last week, a report from the Scottish Funding Council said most colleges are not sustainable with the current levels of funding, and some could even face closure this year.

We are deep into UK party conference season.
Scottish Labour leader Anas Sarwar is back from Liverpool where the prime minister has been under pressure - and his own MPs and MSPs have been pondering how to take on the twin electoral threat of the SNP and Reform UK in next year's Holyrood election.
Meanwhile, Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay will head to the Tory conference in Manchester this weekend as they try to change the course of their own political future.
So what will the opposition leaders choose to raise at today's FMQs?
Access to single sex spaces has been under scrutiny once again this week, with new guidance issued on toilets in schools, and an updated policy on toilets and changing rooms from NHS Fife.
The Tories feel this is solid ground for them - Findlay could well take the opportunity to attack the government once again over its leadership on this issue.
Sarwar has often favoured the NHS and the government's wider record on running public services.
During his conference speech in Liverpool at the weekend, he accused the SNP of squandering billions of pounds handed down by the UK Treasury.
He could also take aim at ministers' handling of further education - after Scotland's spending watchdog has warned college funding has dropped 20% in real terms over five years.
Good morning and welcome to our live coverage of this week's First Minister's Questions.
John Swinney will be fielding questions from Scottish Conservative leader Russell Findlay and Scottish Labour leader leader Anas Sarwar, as well as backbench MSPs.
We'll bring you full coverage and analysis throughout the session, which you can keep your eyes on by clicking the Watch live icon at the top of this page from just before 12:00.
