Answer
Prior to my taking office, the higher education student support package for academic year 2024/25 had already been determined.
I have asked my officials to update me on any work to date on a review of Higher Education Funding, as well as proposals to take it forward. As part of this, I will be engaging with my officials to consider the current support available and to determine whether this can be improved.
