I move amendment No. 6a:
In page 15, between lines 19 and 20, to insert the following:“Ethos
11. In addition to the entrepreneurial elements as well as education and research a technological university shall acknowledge as a fundamental moral and intellectual foundation for the teaching and research practice an ethos that supports creativity, autonomy, intellectual inquiry, innovation and engage citizenship.”.
As I understand it, I will have one opportunity to speak and another to reply. I thank the Minister of State for her illuminating remarks earlier in the discussion when we took on the idea of ethos. She made a significant number of points which I believe I have included in the amendment. It will be interesting to see in what intellectual gymnastics she will engage in an effort to find against the amendment.
