Skills for All

The Hon. T.A. FRANKS (14:40): Supplementary arising from the original answer: the minister indicated that she had previously brought information to this place about the completion rates of Skills for All courses. On 3 June in this place, I asked her that question. She said she would bring back an answer. She has still not brought back an answer to my question: what are the numbers of students who have completed Skills for All courses?

The Hon. G.E. GAGO (Minister for Employment, Higher Education and Skills, Minister for Science and Information Economy, Minister for the Status of Women, Minister for Business Services and Consumers) (14:40): As I have indicated, the current VET completion rates are sitting at around 37 per cent. As I have indicated, they have improved and, as I said, I have put in place a number of strategies to continue that trend.

Members interjecting:

The PRESIDENT: The Hon. Ms Lensink.

The Hon. R.I. Lucas: If 37 per cent is an improvement—

The PRESIDENT: Ms Lensink has the call.
