Diolch, Lywydd. I’d like to declare an interest as a visiting lecturer at Cardiff Metropolitan University. Indeed, on Saturday, 10 September, I was there teaching executive MBA students—a very, very small group of part-time students, who were largely funded by their organisations. When I was full time—when I was back as a senior lecturer—often I’d be teaching groups of 100 students, but they were almost all international students, and, Sian Gwenllian, from outside the European Union. So, I welcome this extension of opportunity to students—domestic undergraduate students—to learn at postgraduate level.

But would the Cabinet Secretary be clear about the careful monitoring of domestic full-time postgraduate numbers, given that the Diamond projections are growth at an optimistic level of 20 per cent? If that growth becomes greater than that, then there will be funding implications. So, can we have an assurance that there will be monitoring within the system? And, also, the universities will likely want to maintain their international numbers as well, so there’ll be staffing implications for that too.

And the other question, separate to that: would the Cabinet Secretary explicitly endorse Diamond’s findings on the value of the Coleg Cymraeg Cenedlaethol, which was one of the success stories of the last Welsh Labour Government? The Coleg Cenedlaethol lecturers have a great deal of knowledge grown from experience, and I urge the Cabinet Secretary to draw on that.
