The number of persons in receipt of Back to Education Allowance (BTEA) at the end of December in each of the years 2015 to 2017 is shown in Table 1 below:
Table 1: BETA recipients 2015 - 2017
Year | Number of recipients (at end December) |
---|---|
2015 | 18,345 |
2016 | 14,386 |
2017 | 11,336 |
I hope this clarifies the matter for the Deputy.
