#### 94 Teaching English to new arrivals—eligible new arrivals amounts
(1) For the purposes of paragraph 93(2)(a), work out the amount for the State’s eligible new arrivals for the program year using the formula:
where:
> assistance amount per student has the meaning given by subsection (2).
> number of eligible new arrivals, for a State for a program year, means the number of eligible new arrivals, other than eligible humanitarian new arrivals, enrolled in intensive ESL courses described in subsection 93(1) in the State for the program year.
(2) For the purposes of subsection (1), the assistance amount per student, for a program year, is the amount worked out using the formula:
where:
> base assistance amount means:
(a) for the 2009 program year—$5,786; or
(b) for a later program year—the assistance amount per student for the previous program year.
(3) If the assistance amount per student for a program year is an amount of dollars and cents, the amount is to be rounded to the next highest dollar.
