251.

View answerI believe that it is very important that we hear the student voice when we are developing policy. To that end I have encouraged ISSU to engage with my Department with a view to outlining its proposals for research on Transition Year and I understand that a meeting has already taken place. ISSU are scheduled to meet officials from my Department after Easter to discuss the further development of their proposal.
