asked the Minister for Education if he will state, in respect of a recent year, the average cost of keeping a full-time student in (a) primary school, (b) secondary school, (c) vocational school, (d) college of technology and (e) university.
Ceisteanna—Questions. Oral Answers. - Full-Time Student Costs.
30.
Mr. O'Malley
The information sought by the Deputy is in the form of a tabular statement which, with your permission, a Cheann Comhairle, I intend to circulate in the Official Report.
Following is the statement:
AVERAGE cost to public funds of keeping a full-time student for the year 1964/65.
(a) PRIMARY SCHOOLS
|
£ |
|
|
Average cost per pupil on rolls |
34 |
|
Average cost per pupil in average attendance |
37 |
|
(b) SECONDARY SCHOOLS |
58 |
|
(c) VOCATIONAL SCHOOLS |
|
|
Whole time day continuation courses |
67 |
|
(d) COLLEGES OF TECHNOLOGY |
|
|
It is not possible to give an average figure of cost per full-time student under this head because separate accounts are not kept for these Colleges and also because of the variety in the nature and extent of the courses. |

(e) UNIVERSITIES |
