The SNP introduced free tuition and we will always ensure Scottish students do not pay tuition fees.
Meanwhile in England, students pay over £9,500 a year and Labour will put fees up every year.
Education must always be based on the ability to learn, not the ability to pay.

The first short story I wrote that wasn't for school was called 'Long Way Home' and it was a science fiction story. I was sixteen, I think. I typed it on a portable typewriter and Diana Wynne Jones critiqued it for me.
My very first short story ever was an assignment in high school. After that one (I was the only person in three sections of the class to get an "A") I wrote a bunch of short stories for fun. It became my thing, enough so that I have excused my schoolmates from ever having to read me again.
