Part of 1. 1. Questions to the Cabinet Secretary for Education – in the Senedd at 2:09 pm on 22 March 2017.
Thank you, Presiding Officer. Minister, I recognise that the transfer of £21 million of funding for HEFCW to support the tuition fee grant was included in the final budget. However, it is important that standards in our universities are kept high, and they need to be properly resourced to do that. What is the Cabinet Secretary doing to ensure that HEFCW’s budget is sufficient to support science, technology, engineering and maths courses that are vital in delivering the high-skilled workforce Wales needs in our future? Thank you.
