How many students have qualified for off-Island tuition fees since 2015?

That's the question on the lips of Arbory, Castletown and Malew MHK Jason Moorhouse - who'll ask the question in the House of Keys next week.

He wants to know how many students have qualified for on-Island and off-Island tuition fees in each academic year since August 2015.

He'll aslo ask how many students dropped out during the initial academic year; and between the start of the second year and the end of their course.

He'll put his question to Education Minister Graham Cregeen.
