Students Repeating Year 12

(2) How many of these students have been accepted for Year 13.

MR WOOD - the answer to Mr Cornwells question is:

(1) The exact number of students who enquired as to the possibility of repeating Year 12 is not known. There were 36 enquiries on the issue through the Careers Advisory Hotline/ Shopfront that operated in January 1993. In addition there would have been enquiries at individual Colleges. However, as at 22 March 1993, 344 students applied to repeat Year 12. This was after the second round of University placements and is approximately 70 fewer than at the same time last year.

(2) All 344 students have been accepted to repeat Year 12. Figures include 16 in non-government schools and 40 at the Canberra Institute of Technology.
