Rees plan to top slice fees
Article Abstract:
A review of student support and fees in Wales is to recommend a "distinctively Welsh" system of bursaries and top-up fees. The review group, chaired by Teresa Rees, pro vice-chancellor of Cardiff University, is to recommend that variable fees of up to UKPd3,000/yr be introduced from 2007-08, with students who live in Wales offered a discount on the level of fee they pay.
