Parliamentary Questions


Question Without Notice No. 589 asked in the Legislative Council on 15 August 2018 by Hon Alison Xamon

Parliament: 40 Session: 1


TAFE — STUDENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM
      589. Hon ALISON XAMON to the Minister for Education and Training:
I refer to the National Centre for Vocational Education Research report ''Government-funded students and courses—January to March 2018'', which notes —
      Western Australian TAFE figures in 2018 have been affected by reporting delays caused by transition to a new student management system.
      (1) Can the minister please now advise the updated number of students for this period for the category TAFE institutes and other government providers?
      (2) How many of these additional students are from North Metropolitan TAFE; and how many of these additional north metro students are a result of delays in enrolment to the student management system?
(3) Will these student number reporting issues occur again for second semester enrolments?
Hon SUE ELLERY replied:
I thank the member for some notice of the question.
      (1) The National Centre for Vocational Education Research figures reported for Western Australian TAFEs were based on March quarter 2018 VET enrolment data collected by the Department of Training and Workforce Development. The March quarter collection represents a standalone year-to-date snapshot of activity, and is not revised or updated.
(2) Not applicable.
      (3) North Metropolitan TAFE is working with the Department of Training and Workforce Development to address the reporting issues associated with the new student management system.
