15. School Participation Rates
Mr BAILEY to MINISTER for EDUCATION and TRAINING
1. What was the total participation rate for school students in the Northern Territory in years (a) 10; and (b) 12, during the following calendar years:
(i) 1990;
(ii) 1991;
(iii) 1992; and

2. What was the total participation rate for Aboriginal school students in the Northern Territory in years (a) 10; and (b) 12, during the following calendar years:
(i) 1990;
(ii) 1991;
(iii) 1992; and
(iv) 1993.
ANSWER
The following definition of “age participation rate” is taken from a DEET publication entitled “Retention and Participation in Australian Schools 1967 to 1992”, Australian Government Publishing Service;
“An age participation rate measures the proportion of an age cohort enrolled in school in a specific calendar year.”
Participation rates are not calculable by year level because each year level comprises students of many different ages.
Participation rates by aboriginality are only available for the year 1991 because the Australian Bureau of Statistics did not estimate resident aboriginal populations by individual age for 1990, 1992 or 1993. Data is only available for 1991 because it was a census year.
Estimated NT Age Participation Rates - June 1991

15 72.73% 92.83% 85.82%

6 Cabinet deliberations are confidential.
7 The original prison concept provided for a prison capacity of 150 inmates in a low/medium facility.
At the initial design stage the security level was increased to add a maximum security facility within a medium security fence.
The capacity was also increased at this stage to provide a single bunked capacity of 250 with design provision for a double bunked limit of 500 inmates.
In creating the increased capacity the basic floor area of the prison increased from 8,000 m to 13,000 m.
In addition the Royal Commission into Deaths in Custody recommendations imposed increased costs in the upgrading required to meet its objectives.
The increase in area of approximately 60% was reflected in an overall increase in construction cost.
A decision to reduce the scope of works to delete the dog squad building, some staff amenities and industrial buildings and recreation hall was necessary to contain the cost of the project.
The addition of perimeter security system and the additional internal secure perimeter fence to ensure maximum security of this facility resulted in the final cost of $26.13M.

ANSWER
1. a) Some locks were damaged during testing because they were fitted with the builders cylinder, but as these cylinders are now being replaced by the security cylinders no such damage can occur in the future.

During these periods it is anticipated the overnight cell temperature would vary from 10C to 130C and a daytime temperature may not rise above 170.
b) No work has been carried out as a result of these tests.
c) No.
4. The only design problems to be identified at the Alice Springs Prison since 1992, were those associated with the compliance required by the Northern Territory Fire Service.
The total effect in adding these additional requirements has been $40,000 to date with a final cost of approximately $100,000 anticipated.
5. The only work carried out to correct faults or design has been variations resulting from errors or omissions in the documentation.
