PRESENTED BY: BASIC EDUCATION SPENCER JANARI SPENDING AND BUDGET TRENDS 21 August 2024 A 10 Year Overview
2 Presentation Overview Basic Education as a share of the Education budget Basic Education as a share of Provincial Budgets Composition of spending CoE as a share of Basic Education Budgets Infrastructure Goods and Services Goods and Services at Primary and Secondary Schools Grade R Concluding Remarks
3 Basic Basic Education s Education s Shrinking Shrinking Share of Share of Education Education A 10% change, from an 80-20 split in 13/14 to 70-30 over the MTEF. The big turnaround started in 2018/19
4 Basic Education Basic Education on the rise as a on the rise as a share of share of Provincial Provincial Budgets Budgets Steady increase from 2017/18, from a low of 40.5% expected to increase to 42.6% NSNP and ECD CGs not cut over the MTEF and additional funding allocated for the CoE adjustments in the 2023 and 2024 Budgets Additions for the BEEI in 2020/21; 21/22, 22/23 and 23/24
5 Basic Education Basic Education Shares of Shares of Provincial Provincial Budgets per Budgets per province province
6 Composition Composition of spending of spending All elements increase over the period CoE dominant: Nearly doubling from R126 billion in 2013/14 to R234 million
7 Compensation of Employees as a Share of Basic Education Average is below the 80% threshold, but when we remove CGs, consistently above 90% - NOT MUCH left over for anything else Note the downward trend from 2014/15 to 23/24, followed by a worrying upward trajectory going forward
8 Infrastructure Spending EIG shows steady growth, while the SIBG fluctuates much more Mainly due to re-allocation of the SIBG due to poor spending, e.g. 2017/18 after 40% underspending in 2016/17 EIG dips in 2019/20 (reprioritisation mainly to higher ed) and 2020/21 (Reprioritisation - COVID)
9 Capex (excl EIG) as share of PED spending
10 Goods and Services Spending between 5-12% on G&S FS consistently below the average G&S spending Steady decline in the Primary School share from 45.7% in 2013/14 to 36.3% by 2026/27
11 Goods and Services: Primary and Secondary Schools excl CGs Total G&S spend increases from R4bn in 2012/13 to R13.4 billion in 2023/24 Per learner G&S 2X as much for secondary learners in 2013/14, nearly 3X by 2022/23
12 Grade R Grade R as share of total averages around 1.7%. Total Grade R spend to increase from R2.4 bn in 13/14 to R7 bn in 26/27 Compulsory Grade R will require an additional R18 bn
13 Concluding Remarks Higher Education additions should not be at the expense of Basic Education Provinces are responsible for providing quality basic education. They can t claim they don t have funding to do so when allocating less than 40% of the Provincial Budget to Basic Ed. Strengthening the basics (reading and maths) has to be a priority of this sector. G&S allocations to primary schools need to reflect this prioritisation. Compulsory Grade R will require a step up in Grade R allocations
