PLAID CYMRU education spokesman Simon Thomas will formally pledge today to scrap tuition fees for some Welsh students in a step towards free education.
Mr Thomas announced his party’s plan to abolish fees for students who stay in Wales to study medicine, science and technology yesterday ahead of an upcoming speech to the UCU cradle to grave conference.
It’s hoped the measure will help end a “brain drain” from Wales, break the market’s grip on education and be a step towards free tuition for all undergraduates in Wales.
