Answer

Corrected reply: I refer the Member to the list following for how any students in Work Based Learning received fees free during the last 3 years. Work-based learners who received first-year Fees Free: 2023 -16,505; 2024 - 16,125; 2025 - 6,045; Total 2023-2025 - 21,500. Work-based learners who received final-year Fees Free in 2025 is less than 5 so is suppressed.
