QUESTION NO 1026

Government Schools and Colleges - Discretionary Grants

MR CORNWELL - asked the Minister for Education and Training on notice on 13 October 1993:

(1) What has been the percentage decrease/increase in discretionary grants to (a) primary schools; (b) high schools and (c) colleges between 1992-93 and the 1993-94 Budget.

(2) How much does this represent in dollar terms at each level.

MR WOOD-- the answer to Mr Cornwells question is:

(1) The discretionary per capita grants were increased generally in line with the CPI (rounded to the nearest dollar). However, the primary school per capita grant was increased at a rate greater than CPI due to this sectors previous lower level of per capita rate.

The percentage increases are:

Primary Schools 3.60

High Schools 2.0%
