An agreement has been reached which has ended Scotland-wide strike action by college lecturers.
Staff had staged a series of walkouts in a dispute about replacing lecturers with lower-paid instructor assessors.
The body which represents employers, Colleges Scotland, said this had not been happening on a national scale.
Strike action was suspended last week when progress was made in talks between the EIS Further Education Lecturers Association and Colleges Scotland.
It was officially called off on Wednesday after both sides ratified an agreement.
EIS-FELA said the solution "protects the interests of lecturers and students" while Colleges Scotland said it was "great news".
