A highlight for my term of office…..David Lammy in the Guild
David is the Minister for Higher Education and Intellectual Property in the Department for Innovation, Universities and Skills and is responsible for ensuring that we sustain and develop world-class Higher Education in the UK.
I invited him to sit on the Panel for the Great Debate on May 8th. Unfortunately because of his extremely busy diary he had to decline the date. Yet I was persistent and continued to badger his office to get him to visit the Guild and he did, important because I want to ensure that the views of students are listened to at the highest level.
So what did we talk about…
· The Higher Education Funding Review and why the NUS should be on it
· The National Minimum Wage and his review on introducing a standard minimum wage for all regardless of age
· The role of Minority Ethnic politicians in Government
· The differences between the University system in the UK and the USA, where David has studied at Harvard University
