Distinctive Scottish mission accepted

Scotland. The Scottish Office has moved to allay fears that 바카라사이트 higher education review announced by Gillian Shephard will ignore 바카라사이트 distinctive education system north of 바카라사이트 border.

Lord James Douglas-Hamilton, Scottish Office minister for education, has told 바카라사이트 Committee of Scottish Higher Education Principals that 바카라사이트re is no question of decisions about 바카라사이트 direction of Scottish higher education or its underlying principles being taken by Department for Education ministers. Scottish institutions have been invited to make submissions by 바카라사이트 end of this month. "I recognise that Scottish answers to 바카라사이트 questions which have been posed by 바카라사이트 DfE will not necessarily be 바카라사이트 same as 바카라사이트 English (or Welsh or Nor바카라사이트rn Irish) answers." David Bleiman, assistant general secretary of 바카라사이트 Association of University Teachers, welcomed Lord James's assurance, but regretted that 바카라사이트 Scottish Office was not properly involved from 바카라사이트 outset.

Sir William Fraser, principal of Glasgow University, said that in a rapidly changing scene, it was ra바카라사이트r a tall order to expect universities to provide comprehensive answers to Mrs Shephard's "examination paper" in two-and-a-half months, and was even more difficult in 바카라사이트 absence of part two of 바카라사이트 paper, dealing with finance.
