14 Deputy S.G. Luce of St. Martin of the Minister for Education regarding the number
of Jersey students at universities off-Island (OQ.268/2020): How many Jersey students are currently studying at universities off-Island?
Deputy J.M. Maçon (Assistant Minister for Education - rapporteur):
What appears to be a simple question; for context we know the number of students who register with Student Finance, and while they do encourage all students to register with them as this can help with the student being charged home fees as opposed to international fees in some circumstances, not all students do. These students will be a mixture of undergraduate, postgraduate, opératoires, dance academies and other non-university institutions that provide level 6 qualifications. This figure would also include students on-Island. The total figure is circa 1,600 and it is estimated that approximately 200 students study off-Island without Government support. As mentioned earlier, not all students register with Student Finance as they may not qualify for financial support due to income assessment or may not have been living on the Island for 5 years.
4.14.1 The Deputy of St. Martin :
I thank the Assistant Minister for his answer. Can he inform the Assembly whether he has contact details for all those students?
Deputy J.M. Maçon:
Contacts for students registered with Student Finance the department will have. The Bailiff :
Can I just say to Members we are literally at the halfway point of asking questions and we have used up three-quarters of the time available to us in order to do so. Consequently from hereon I will not take supplementary questions to supplementary questions. So the usual supplementaries for the main questioner will be available but any other Member may ask a question but not a follow-up supplementary after that. That is to enable us to have the best chance of getting through the remaining questions.
