:00:54. > :01:11.Students from Wales only pay ?3500 for their tuition fees, wherever
:01:12. > :01:25.they choose to study in the UK. The Welsh government pays the rest. The
:01:26. > :01:28.policy is generous. And that universities here say it leaves them
:01:29. > :01:30.out of pocket. It is being reviewed at the moment but the education
:01:31. > :01:33.minister insists it will remain after a's election if Labour is
:01:34. > :01:35.still in power as a message to young people. We will invest in your
:01:36. > :01:37.ambition as a young person and we will not curtail your ambitions,
:01:38. > :01:40.particularly when it comes to geography. If you really think you

:01:50. > :01:51.unsustainable gimmick which means tens of millions of pounds are
:01:52. > :01:53.leaving Welsh universities and heading to English institutions
:01:54. > :01:56.instead. He will not be the education minister after May. He
:01:57. > :02:00.announced last week that he will be standing down. It has been a
:02:01. > :02:03.tremendous honour to represent the community I was born and raised in
:02:04. > :02:05.and to have served as education minister, which has been my dream
:02:06. > :02:09.job. I will always walk a little taller, I suppose, with those things
:02:10. > :02:14.in mind. But it's time for fresh eyes. He is one of nine Labour
:02:15. > :02:16.members standing down in May. So, a new challenge for him and a new
:02:17. > :02:18.education Minister on the way. It's emerged that asylum seekers
