SCHOOL INTAKE

In reply to Mr PISONI (Unley) (22 June 2012).

The Hon. G. PORTOLESI (Hartley—Minister for Education and Child Development): I am advised:

The savings relate to lower costs for the Department for Education and Child Development as a result of there being only one intake of children in the relevant preschool and reception year when compared to the current policy of a continuous intake throughout the year, and some children having more than one year in reception.
