Last week, I was delighted to meet again with Lord Sharkey, @SLCcomms Sir Stephen Timms UKIFC Rizwan Yusoof and colleagues to discuss Alternative Student Finance. It was great to share the progress DfE and SLC are making, and confirm work is on track!

I was delighted to discuss progress on the introduction of an Alternative Student Finance (ASF) product compatible with Islamic finance principles with members of the ASF Working Group. This will make student finance accessible for everyone, regardless of their faith.
