§ Mr. BlunkettTo ask the Secretary of State for Education and Employment what was the average unit cost per pupil for part-time provision in(a) nursery schools, (b) nursery classes in primary schools and (c) playgroups, at the latest available date. [36175]
§ Mr. Robin SquireThe table shows estimates of unit costs in maintained schools for 1993–94, based on the assumption that part-time pupils attend for half the normal attendance time of full-time pupils, and, on average, cost half as much as a full-time pupil.
1993–94 estimated unit costs £ Full-time equivalent Part-time (50 per cent.) Nursery school 3,250 1,625 Nursery class in primary school 2,660 1,330 Note:
Because expenditure returns do not distinguish spending on nursery schools and classes from other primary school spending, the figures above are estimates based on apportionment of total expenditure.
Unit costs in play groups are not collected centrally.
