The use of language part three
The Minister for Education Life Long Learning and Skills, Jane Hutt is a glass-half-full sort of person. So when she was confronted with an Enterprise and Learning Committee report on the economic impact of higher education, which concluded that higher education has huge potential to improve the Welsh economy, she seemed unphased as to how the 5 per cent cut in the higher education budget would contribute to that agenda.
In fact the cuts are an opportunity for colleges to "to prioritise their funding accordingly, and I will give them the levers to do so. That is part of the challenge of this budget."
I wonder if the Principals and Vice Chancellors will see it in that way?
