“Although the debate around tuition fees is an important one, we must not forget that many of the poorest pupils struggle to achieve the grades to get into university in the first place.” - Douglas Hamilton, Save the Children’s Head of Scotland
“My recommendation to those universities who can, is to privatise those faculties which the Government is refusing to fund, and in so doing to set themselves free of Government interference.” - Lord Sutherland of Houndwood, former principal of Edinburgh University.
