312 Dr. Upton asked the Minister for Education and Science the number of first year students registered for science courses in each of the colleges of technology in the current academic year; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29572/01]
The information sought by the Deputy in respect of the number of students registered for science courses in each of the institutes of technology in the current academic year is not yet available in my Department.
These data are collected through a set of annual statistical returns compiled by the Institutes as of 31 October each year. The compilation of the data in my Department is completed on receipt of returns from all Institutes. I will forward the information requested to the Deputy when it is available.
