Universities: Scotland
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Education, what discussions she has had with her Scottish counterpart on supporting the university sector in Scotland to develop international operations.
Answered by Janet Daby
My right hon. Friend, the Secretary of State for Education has had initial engagement with her Scottish counterpart and looks forward to further collaboration with education Ministers from across the UK including at the UK Education Ministers Council next month in Belfast. This government supports the university sector in Scotland and the development of their international operations through the overseas engagements of the UK government’s International Education Champion Professor Sir Steve Smith. Most recently, Professor Sir Steve led a higher education transnational education mission to Brazil with two Scottish universities in attendance, the University of Dundee and the University of Glasgow.
