Mr Martin Ferguson asked the Minister for Education, Science and Training, upon notice, on 20 June 2002:

For each of the past five academic years, what was the (a) number and (b) percentage of total students in each higher education institution and faculty, who paid discounted Higher Education Contribution Scheme fees by electing to pay in advance.


Dr Nelson (Minister for Education, Science and Training) —The answer to the honourable member's question is in the attached tables 1 to 4. In regard to the number of HECS funded undergraduate places for each of the last five academic years across each faculty, this data is not collected from universities. Therefore the information for this specific category is not available.
