TBF it covered a fair bit of ground. Nice one
And I quite like his point that loans mean the universities get the funding direct, whereas a graduate tax puts funding more at the whim of the Treasury.

I like that too, thought it was a good point.
Although he contradicted himself, because he said the student loan funding follows the student and the course, but later he said that an individual's fees subsidise other courses, sooo.....

He comes across as a decent guy, shame that the government system he works for is so intrinsically untrustworthy.
Thanks for asking my question, shame that the Minister didn't even come close to answering it.
Thanks for asking my question (first) - Think he did a good job at answering it.
Didn't ask my question on it being unfair to this year's students if next year's get lower fees
This was an interesting watch, even though my questions weren't asked I do think a lot of the key issues were covered. It's interesting that's he's very clear certain things "aren't policy" but they were definitely announced like a possible policy.
I do sort of agree that the fees system is good in that the money follows the student directly to the university they've chosen. A good point against a graduate tax.
It would have been good if a question was asked about the lecturer's strike.
