(a) No specific funding for an Indigenous Tutorial Assistance Scheme for students in detention centres was paid to the Department of Corrective Services in 2009.
Under the new COAG National Agreement for Skills and Workforce Development a bulk allotment of $326 000 was provided by the Commonwealth to the State for a range of educational services to increase Indigenous engagement in education. The Department of Corrective Services used the funding to meet cost of employing existing permanent Indigenous full time employees who were employed for education purposes.
(b)-(c) Not applicable.
