Around 20 student leaders from across Scotland came to the Scottish Parliament to discuss topics including employability, access and fees and funding.

The day-long summit culminated in three reports from the students to the Cabinet Secretary who said that she had met a number of University Principals over the last few months but that it was equally important to listen to the students themselves.
