-----I would really appreciate it because I am fed up with the generalities here. My Department is working extraordinarily hard on making real and positive impacts as regards pathways for education. A big part of what we do is communicating with citizens, often citizens who have been locked out of education. We will continue to communicate with them. I wish to be clear in that regard.

On the vacant grants or the devolved grant, this was a proposal that came from the universities themselves. If any university president is writing to say this is a bad idea, I would like to know his or her name. Any such president can call me because I have not heard one of them tell me it is a bad idea.
