MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION No: 577

Canberra Institute of Technology - Unsuccessful

Enrolment Applicants

Mr CORNWELL - Asked the Minister for Education and Training -

How many people missed out on a place at Canberra Institute of Technology in 1993.

Mr WOOD - The answer to Mr Cornwells question is as follows:-

At this stage CIT can only advise on the number of enrolment applications which did nit result in an enrolment in a course at the start of Semester 1. The latest estimate of this is between 4000 and 5000 and is based on waiting lists maintained for those unable to obtain a place in high demand courses covered by the Institutes postal enrolment system and for trade courses. This number cannot be directly related to those who unsuccessfully applied for a course. Some of these applicants may have gained enrolment in another course at the Institute or elsewhere and the Institute has no spare resources to test whether some of these applicants subsequently obtained places iii less popular courses, how many would still enrol if places in their preferred courses did become available, whether some of these applicants will enrol in Semester 2 or whether there will then be further unsuccessful applicant. Resources are also not available to establish the age, gender and characteristics or unsuccessful

applicants.
