Examination of Witnesses (Questions 240 - 241)

MONDAY 30 MARCH 2009

PROFESSOR JANET BEER AND DR JOHN HOOD

  Q240  Chairman: We will leave that hanging in the air. We have come to the end of this session; it could have gone on a lot longer, but we are very, very grateful, Dr Hood, because I know that you have reorganised your schedule to be with us. Thank you very much indeed Professor Janet Beer.

  Dr Hood: Could I say one final thing, Chairman? One of the things that is worrying us a lot as an institution is postgraduate education and the need to prepare the workforce for tomorrow, and the lack in this country of any coherent structured policy around the provision of postgraduate education and the funding of students for that. I just want to leave that on the table.

  Q241  Chairman: I have to say that is another inquiry.

  Dr Hood: Fine, but I would encourage you to have it.
