National Record of Achievement (Hansard, 16 November 1992)

§ Mr. Barry Jones
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales if he will review the cost implication of the stationery required for the national record of achievement post-16 for high schools.

§ Sir Wyn Roberts
No. The national record of achievement is not compulsory for post-16 in high schools. It is therefore for individual schools to decide whether to fund the NRA's introduction for post-16 students.

§ Mr. Barry Jones
To ask the Secretary of State for Wales what is his estimate of the cost to individual high schools of the post-16 national record of achievement.

§ Sir Wyn Roberts
As the national record of achievement is not compulsory post-16, central records are not kept and the information is not available. However, if individual schools decide to introduce the NRA post-16, the cost varies according to the numbers ordered, ranging from £7.00 per folder for ordering one to £3.27 per folder for bulk orders of 100 or more.
