EDUCATION —
LOW-INTEREST LOAN SCHEME
789. Hon DONNA FARAGHER to the Leader of the House
representing the Minister for Education:
I refer to the Department of
Education and the low-interest loan scheme that is provided to the
non-government school sector.
(1) What was the
total budget amount allocated to the low-interest loan scheme for the 2023–24
financial year?
(2) Will the
minister provide a breakdown of the total amount of funding distributed in the
2023–24 financial year as part of this scheme?

AnswerView source ↗

I thank the honourable member for
some notice of the question.
(1) It was $57.1 million.
(2) The answer is in tabular form, so I seek leave to
have that incorporated into Hansard . That is the low-interest loan scheme funding provided in 2023–24 as at 19 June 2024.
