How many?!

 

Over what period of time?

 

Where did this number come from?

More than 15,000 Scots miss out on university place as SNP government 'cap' criticised

I don't think this says how many "straight A" students missed out but it does provide some total numbers of students who missed out last year.

It was part of the SNP budgetary  briefing when they announced their plans for next year , plans which still haven't passed the Scottish Parliament 

Ah okay.  I think its actually 41% of the Scottish Government budget, but when you factor in all government expenditure its a somewhere around 16-21% depending on what cut of the data you look at.   Cheers!

Whatever the exact number, the conclusion is the same ... it's a disgrace that a Scottish government should legislate to deprive Scottish people of a Scottish education because it prefers to subsidise the education of foreign students. A disgrace but in no way surprising.

The reason there are so many Chinese / Indian student doctors is that they pay full university fees , under the SNP over 5000 Scottish straight A students have been denied a place for this very reason  , shocking ,plus when they say we rely on Europeans , this is another reason , there are enough Scottish kids desperate to be Doctorsbut are denied under this government .

Bang on the money rbr! £1850 for a Scottish student per year from the government, or £10k per year for an overseas student.

It really is impossible for anyone to try and argue that Scottish students aren’t being discriminated against.

 

fact - there is a cap on the number of Scottish students that can be accepted due to government policy.
