Overseas Students
Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many EU students commenced courses at English universities in each year since 1997, broken down by member state; and how much was paid by them in tuition fees in each of those years. [4849]
21 Jun 2005 : Column 1018W
Bill Rammell: The two tables given in this answer give data from different sources and hence the two sets of figures are not comparable.
The available information on the number of EU domiciled entrants to full time undergraduate courses at English HE institutions is given in the following table.
(38) Figures are rounded to the nearest 5 and so totals may not sum.
(39) Figures include entrants to 1st degree, foundation degree, HND/C, Diploma of HE and other undergraduate diplomas, certificates and credits.
(40) HESA entrant figures are not directly comparable to accepted applicant figures from the Universities and Colleges Admissions Service (UCAS) due to differences in coverage.

The amount of private contributions to tuition fees by students from the European Union in HE in English institutions from academic year 1999/2000 to 2003/04 is given in the following table.

Mr. Clappison: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many students from EU member states applied for entry to English universities in 2004–05; and how many were offered a place, broken down by EU member state. [4850]

(43) Figures have been rounded to the nearest five so totals may not sum.
(44) Although the majority of applicants apply through UCAS, it is possible to apply direct to the institution.

Partnerships for Schools
Helen Jones: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills which companies are part of the Partnerships for Schools advisory body; how many of those companies are also advising local authorities on projects; and which companies are part of consortia bidding for projects. [4770]
Jacqui Smith: Partnerships for Schools (PfS) was designated as a non-departmental public body from 1 April 2004 under a joint venture agreement between DfES and Partnerships UK and is a private limited company incorporated under the Companies Act 1985. The company is limited by shares and is wholly owned by the DfES. It has been established to support the local delivery of the Building Schools for the Future (BSF) programme.

Performance Related Pay
Mr. Rob Wilson: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills what percentage of teachers in England have not qualified for the performance related pay scheme since its establishment. [5652]
Jacqui Smith: The requested information is not available in the format requested.
In January 2004 there were 387,500 (headcount) number of regular teachers employed on the classroom and post threshold pay scales. Of these 48 per cent. were employed on the classroom pay scale. It is estimated that around three quarters of these had not reached the highest point of the scale and were therefore not eligible to apply for threshold assessment.
Postgraduates
Mr. Stephen O'Brien: To ask the Secretary of State for Education and Skills how many postgraduates gained (a) Master of Arts level, (b) Master of Science level, (c) Master of Business Administration level and (d) Master of Philosophy level qualifications from higher education institutions in England in each year between 1994 and 2004. [3237]
Bill Rammell: The Department does not hold specific information on the type of masters degree obtained. The overall number of masters qualifications is in the table:
Note:
The figures are taken from the HESA student record which has been collected annually by the Higher Education Statistics Agency since 1994/95, and cover home and overseas students obtaining masters qualifications at English higher education institutions. There is a pronounced drop in the number of students in the 'combined' category for 2003/04—this is due to a change in the way the Open University returns its data to HESA.
