Question
To ask the Minister for Education (Schools) (a) what has been the enrolment of first-year junior college students for the years 2013-2017; and (b) what is the projected enrolment for first year junior college students for 2019.
Response
1. The number of first-year junior college students from 2013 to 2017 is as follows:

JC1 Enrolment | 15,800 | 14,900 | 13,600 | 13,700 | 14,400 |
The decrease over this period is due to falling birth rates, with the exception of 2017, which corresponds to the 2000 dragon year cohort.
