MSPs call for more cash to remain competitive

Article Abstract:

Scotland's universities and colleges should be provided with additional funding in order to stop them falling behind their counterparts in England which will benefit from top-up fees and higher research income, according to the "Scottish Solutions" report produced by members of the Scottish Parliament (MSPs). The MSPs have sent their report to Scottish MPs at Westminster in an attempt to influence the way the vote on the higher education bill, which, if passed, will introduce top-up fees in England. Scottish colleges and universities have called for an additional UKPd100 mil/yr by 2006-2007, but the report avoids giving specific sums.
