GOVERNMENT fixation with inward investment has seriously damaged higher education in Wales, according to the Welsh nationalist party Plaid Cymru, writes Huw Richards.

Plaid higher education spokes-man Cynog Dafis, MP for Ceredigion, has attacked the 4.3 per cent higher education cut in in funding allocations, saying: "Unless these cuts are reversed, there is a serious danger that our great Welsh higher education system could slide into second-class status, specifically in scientific research".

Mr Dafis contrasted the attitude to higher education with heavy government spending on inward investment, such as the ?200 million put into bringing a major Korean company into Newport.
