Text

Minister, communication between stakeholders and Departments is always key. Will you outline further what communication and engagement have been like with key stakeholders in our further and higher education sector? It is really important that, while we are fighting for a fairer settlement from the UK Government, we listen to stakeholders' suggestions about the new ways, on which we might model our further and higher education system.
