I wish to advise the Deputy that, in accordance with the methodology used in the published institutional profiles, the information available to my Department reflects an academic staff:student ratio in Institutes of Technology of 15:1 (2017/18 enrolment figures).

My officials have requested that the HEA undertake to confirm the updated ratio and the details will be communicated directly to the Deputy as soon as possible.
