Stephen asks - should Scottish students pay towards University tuition? And on Quitters' Day, how are your resolutions going? 08085 929500

TUITION FEES

Edinburgh University's principal says Scottish students should be allowed to pay towards their tuition, as the sector is in "danger" under the current system. Prof Sir Peter Mathieson told BBC Scotland's Scotcast podcast that Scotland - where undergraduate tuition is free for most students - could adopt a "graduate repayment scheme" based upon salary. Mathieson said Scotland's existing funding model was "not sustainable", but insisted he was "not advocating the introduction of tuition fees".
