Absolutely not. I think higher education should be free nationally. I think it's a disgrace
00:03
that people are having to pay for that sort of thing. I think it's... I was lucky enough
00:09
to be a student back when I had a grant and back when I had my fees paid. It gives children
00:15
or gives teenagers the freedom to study what they want. I think the minute you start placing
00:21
financial restrictions on people, they are forced to make decisions that might not be
00:26
exactly right for them. And I think further education is important, not just in terms
00:31
of jobs, in terms of career, but just in terms of the development of people. And I think
00:37
any subject studied is a subject worth studying, if you know what I mean. So no, I completely
00:43
disagree with any restrictions on study. And I really disagree with the idea of charging
00:49
students for it. I really think it's a bad thing.
00:51
Higher education should be completely free to everyone. And I'm careful what I say here,
00:58
but to Scottish people.
