Question NW344 to the Minister of Higher Education and Training
14 March 2016 - NW344
Bergman, Mr D to ask the Minister of Higher Education and Training
What was the (a) Disadvantaged Student Index and (b) full cost of study at each institution of higher education (i) in the (aa) 2013-14 and (bb) 2014-15 financial years and (ii) from 1 April 2015 up to the latest specified date for which information is available; (2) what will the (a) Disadvantaged Student Index and (b) estimated full cost of study be at each institution of higher education in the 2016-17 financial year?
Reply:
- (a) The Department has a unique funding factor in the annual block grant subsidy calculations for universities, which caters specifically for students from previously disadvantaged groups, whereby a weighting factor is determined for each university based on the proportion of students from previously disadvantaged groups, i.e. African, Coloured and Indian groups. This weighting factor generates additional teaching input units for a university, i.e. enrolled funded full-time equivalent students.
