MINISTER FOR EDUCATION AND TRAINING

LEGISLATIVE ASSEMBLY QUESTION

QUESTION 202

Government Schools - Capital Costs per Student

MR CORNWELL - asked the Ministerifor Education and Training on notice on the 16 June 1992:

What is the capital cost per student in Government (a) primary schools; (b) high schools and (c) colleges.

MR WOOD - the answer to Mr Cornwells question is:

The capital cost per student is not calculated by the Department. To estimate this would require the valuation of each school building, its equipment and the application of depreciation allowances as well as discounting for community use which would vary over time and from site to site. The costs of furniture and equipment per school, donated assets and assets not financed by the ACT are not readily available. The different accounting bases used over the years and the current accruals accounting system does not allow provision of a meaningful assessment of capital costs per student.
