Lynne Neagle AM: thank you We are going to move on then to talk about student recruitment I am going to because we have got a lot of questions appeal for brief questions and answers that are as concise as possible please Hefin
Hefin David AM: How does the Welsh Government account for the fact that EU student applications in Wales this year—that Wales is the only country in the UK to have seen a significant drop ?
Kirsty Williams AM: well I think the first thing to remember is that we will not get a full picture of student recruitment until first of all November and then the true picture because some institutions as you would know have two admissions dates—we will not get the full picture until the spring I think it was inevitable given the change in Government policy with regard to student support which had previously allowed European students to benefit from a tuition fee grant and given the fact that that option is no longer available to them that that has had an impact on EU recruitment and there is no point trying to hide from that
Hefin David AM: So together with leaving the EU that is a doublewhammy effect that is hitting Wales harder than the rest of the UK
Kirsty Williams AM: It just puts us in the same position as EU students applying to England but it was inevitable This was looked at by Diamond It was anticipated that this could be a consequence of the change in policy and I think we see that reflected in the initial figure although as I said we will not get the true picture until the first census in November and then ultimately the final picture in the spring
Hefin David AM: How concerned are you by that ?
Kirsty Williams AM: Clearly we want our universities to be able to attract students from both the EU and from around the world The fact that the tuition fee grant arrangements may have had an impact on European Union students at this stage does not preclude the fact that Wales up until now has been successful in recruiting international students So the change in the fee regime should not be a barrier to the recruitment of international students because actually international students outside of the EU make up a bigger proportion of students not from the UK who come to our institutions
Hefin David AM: That is a fair point but it is unfortunate timing though is not it ?
Kirsty Williams AM: I think from a public policy point of view and moving towards a sustainable way of funding our HE sector then both my priority and I would say the priority of the institutions was to see the implementation of Diamond which is what we have done
Hefin David AM: that is fine What about the fact that we have got a relatively imbalanced higher education profile compared to other countries of the UK with regard to high medium and lowtariff universities ? We have got one hightariff university and they are the ones that tend to show the growth in recruitment of EU students Are you concerned about that balance of profile in the HE sector ?
Kirsty Williams AM: As I said in answer to your question earlier there is a difference reflected in the exposure of institutions to EU and international students I would argue that it is not necessarily the case that institutions that are not hightariff are not able to do very well in this sector If you look for instance at Swansea University—if you look at the work Swansea University has done that shows you what is possible
Hefin David AM: What is Swanseas success then ? What can we learn from Swansea ?
Kirsty Williams AM: What I think is important—and this is not about any one institution—what I think is really important is that we look to— And I can not force institutions to do this It is a combination I believe for all universities of getting their offer right—so having a curriculum at their institution that is attractive and offers courses that people want to study It is about that curriculum being delivered in an excellent fashion so high quality ratings for teaching as well as having an infrastructure that is attractive to students So it is all about getting the offer right and providing what students both domestically and internationally want
Hefin David AM: But the evidence would therefore suggest that that model of success that you have just outlined is happening in Swansea but it is not happening in other institutions and they are seeing a drop
Kirsty Williams AM: Well as I said I think what we can see from Cardiff Swansea and others is that it is possible to do very well in the sector
Hefin David AM: So Cardiff Swansea and Bangor—but the others not
Kirsty Williams AM: As I said what we can see is that if you get the offer right I think we have something very special that the HE sector can market itself on
Lynne Neagle AM: Llyr you have got a supplementary
Llyr Gruffydd AM: Just coming back to the drop in EU students you mentioned that one of the reasons probably is the change in the funding that is available to students coming here So does that suggest that under the current regime Wales was punching above its weight in terms of attracting students and we have lost that advantage ? I know we are gaining in other ways in introducing the new system but really we are not much different to England in terms of fees now so why would they come to Wales as opposed to going anywhere else ?
Kirsty Williams AM: I think you are right there was an added incentive potentially to come to a Welsh institution because of the availability of the tuition fee grant That advantage is no longer there which is why we need to work alongside the sector as we are doing with the Global Wales programme to increase their ability to market HE in the round across the world I think we have got a strong offer that we can speak to people about I am very proud of what our institutions can deliver for people It is a fantastic warm environment to come and study in at great institutions There is something for everybody whether you want to be in a city like Cardiff or whether you want a coastal experience in a small town like Aber So we have got a lot to offer and that is why it is really important that although we have seen a change in the tuition fees which may have an impact we are investing with universities for instance in the Global Wales programme
Lynne Neagle AM: In terms of the drop that we have seen in Wales which is differential amongst institutions will you be taking any specific action to try and prevent Brexit exacerbating that ?
Kirsty Williams AM: We are working with HEFCW and individual institutions as I said to test their preparedness We can not tell them what to do in that sense but we can because of our governance arrangements and HEFCWs monitoring arrangements continue to test with them I meet regularly with vicechancellors and separately with the chairs of the institutions and separately again with HEFCW representatives and the sustainability of the sector and recruitment issues is always something that is on the agenda | Hefin David pointed out that Wales was the only country in the UK that witnessed a significant drop in applications from EU students. The group should have noticed that the available funding for those EU students had changed, and that was one of the reasons why fewer of them applied for Wales universities this year. But fortunately, according to Kirsty Williams, close cooperation with HEFCW and other institutions were always on the agenda to make sure that Wales universities were fully prepared. |

stinging scorpion: Bigger. Also, the human is probably eight thousand of my steps towards the sun.

bigfoot: YES! I HUNGRY!!!!!!!!!
an old, wizened priestess: You are excited! I remember the last time one of your kind came here they tried to steal my skulls and I had to add theirs to the wall, but this seems like a plesant meeting.

subject: Of course, Sire. Here's some fresh water. But, do you know what has brought us together in this tub? Do you need something from me?
king: I need your mind, ponder this, I have here a crown. Does the king make the crown or does the crown make the king? If I give you this crown and you walk out of this bathhouse wearing it would the people accept you as their new king when I clearly stood behind you? Probably not, but why then is this the same crown my father and his father and his father wore before. The Crown goes from one king to another so would it make you king?
subject: Sire, it is clear to me that you control the kingdom, whether with or without the crown. Should a violent storm sweep away the crown from the kingdom, surely you would still wake the next day as King.

king: "I think there was still some boar from the weekend, but that might be a bit old at this point. I'll take that mutton, though."
family member: Understood then, mutton it is.
king: "Nothing in there you like, eh? Well, I can give you some of this, there's a lot left."

donkey: The barnyard has eyes everywhere, we know many things that people would never believe. You should investigate!
clergy: I just gave him the dead people. If you want to take them back to the barn with you, then be my guest.
