Task

University

budget

cutsHost:Well,

David

Lammy,

the

University

Minister,

joins

me

from

thanks

for

joining

us

this

lunchtime,

Mr.

Lammy.

How

do

these

cuts...

tie

in

with

your

much

trumpeted

commitment

to

increasing

higher

education

Interviewee:Well,

I

think

it's

important

to

remind

viewers

that

we

will

spend

well

over

12

billion

pounds

on

higher

education

this

year

and

to

also

say

that

there

will

be

more

students

at

university

next

year

than

ever

before

in

our

history.

But

what

is

important

is

that

when

they

get

to

university,

is

that

they

have

good

facilities,

good

buildings,

that

they

have

good

contact

with

their

lecturers

and,

for

students

from

poorer

backgrounds

that

they

receive

a

grant.

And

you

know

40

percent

of

students

who

are

going

to

university

are

in

receipt

of

some

grants.

So

we

have

to

plan...

Host:But

there's

going

to

be

less

money

next

year.

That's

the

bottom

line,

isn't

it

Interviewee:Er,

we

are

asking

universities

to

make

a

one

percent

cut

in

their

teachinggrant.

That's

51

million

out

of

a

total

budget

of

over

five

billion.

Look,

I

think

there

are

families

across

the

country

preparing

for

Christmas

spending

a

bit

less

and

they're,

you

know,

it's

a

lot

more

than

one

percent

that

they're,

they're

feeling.

So

I

think

this

is

reasonable

to

ask

universities

if

we

are

to

ensure

that

we

can

continue

to

send

more

young

people

to

university

and

we

remain

committed

to

that.

Host:And

briefly,

what

about

these

two-year

degrees

This

is

a

reduction

in

standards,

isn't

it

Interviewee:Well,

we,

we,

we...

It's

important

in

this

country

that

we

remember

thatstudents

aren't

just

the

classic

18-

to

21-year-old

undergraduates.

We

want

mature

students.

We

want

more

parttime

students

and

over

the

last

few

years

we've

been

growing

the

number

of

foundation

degree,

two-year

degrees

that

ensure

that

transition

into

high

university

and

high

level

skills.

That's

what

we

want

to

support

and

that's

what

we're

indicating

in

the

grant

letter

that

we've

sent

to

universities

over

the

last

few

days.

Host:

OK.

David

Lammy,

thank

you

so

much

for

joining

us.
