Public Accounts Committee

Special Report No. 88 of the Comptroller and Auditor General: Restructuring the Administration of Student Grants

10:00 am

Ms Jacinta Stewart:

We have that. We also have a very close relationship with guidance counsellors in all schools, and our communications officer works very closely with them so that students get the chance to fill in application forms in schools. We run outreach all across the country, in regional colleges, in universities, in PLC colleges and anywhere we are asked to. We also have in place supports in the community information centres for anybody who has particular difficulties, and an advisory group made up of students and parents who work with us to identify how we can make it simpler and ensure students get all the information.
