Lib Dems: Questions over Glyndwr Uni not answered

We need to establish whether there is a wider problem in the sector as a whole, particularly with regard to any satellite campuses outside Wales.

Staff, students and everyone involved in the sector will want to know how this situation has come about and what is being done to assist those concerned.

Whilst the issue of student visas is a matter for the UK Government, funding of university places remains very much the responsibility of the Welsh Minister and I was hoping that today the Minister could provide me with reassurance.

Unfortunately, that was not the case and I have asked the Minister for a meeting with him and the Higher Education Funding Council for Wales to discuss the way forward.

Questions also need to be answered as to why issues regarding English language ability were not picked up during quality assurance checks by the QAA.
