		Ms Wriedt said she was not in a position to release the figures because the Ministerial Council on Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs had not given approval.
		The comments were made after Ms Wriedt this week dropped her long-held opposition to the federal scheme which offers $700 worth of tuition to students who failed to reach national literacy benchmarks and agreed to advise parents of the scheme before the June 30 deadline.
		Ms Wriedt said her department was still checking the results for accuracy and once finalised it was up to the Ministerial Council for Education, Employment, Training and Youth Affairs, and not individual states, to release them.
