Higher Education

As an amendment to motion S3M-07109 in the name of Elizabeth Smith (Higher Education), leave out from “believes” to end and insert “welcomes that, thanks to the actions of the previous and current administrations in Scotland, full-time Scottish higher education students studying in Scotland pay neither tuition fees nor top-up fees; notes the ongoing Independent Review of Higher Education Funding and Student Finance in England and Wales; recognises that the Scottish Government will need to consider any outcomes of this review and the potential impact on Scottish universities, which have a global reputation for excellence, and welcomes the Scottish Government’s commitment to bring forward a green paper on higher education following publication of the review.”
