Education and Skills written question – answered at on 16 February 2006.
To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills if she will include veterinary students in the exemption from tuition fees.
The Education (Student Support) Regulations 2006, which come into effect from September this year, do not exempt any group of students from the payment of tuition fees.
From September, no eligible, full-time students will have to pay tuition fees before they start their course or while they are studying as they will be able to take out a fee loan to cover the full cost of their fees.
Some students, exceptionally, have their tuition fees paid in full or part for specific courses leading to public sector employment, including medical courses and some teacher training courses. These schemes are funded by the relevant Government Departments.
