1. The Department does not keep separate records for Year 11 and Year 12 students in the Driver Training and Licensing Scheme.
There were 1607 participants in the DTAL program for the 1995/96 financial year. This figure is for all DTAL participants and is not restricted to those attending Year 11 or 12. It can be assumed that the majority of participants were students in Years 11 and 12.
2. The level of funding that was provided to schools and other educational institutions for payment to licensed providers (driving instructors) for DATL practical instruction during 1995/96 was $385,680.
This figure does not include payment to driving schools for theory classes taught. This would be between $16,000 and $20,000 depending on the level of payment from each school as there is no set fee for delivering theory courses.
