7.1. Key assumptions

The following assumptions were considered in formulating the budget:
• Implementation of Cost Containment Measures continues, therefore Districts and Head Office are
to ensure that allocation of budgets to SCOA line items continue reflecting the application of the

cost containment measures as issued by the National Treasury as per Instructions 2, 3 and 4 of
2018/19 and Provincial Treasury Instruction Note 4 of 2018/19, where spending on non-essential

items must be kept at bare minimum or decreasing.
• All inflationary increases as imposed on related goods and services and general Consumer Price
Index (CPI) estimation.

• Provision on personnel related items as per Treasury Guidelines.
• Reviewed implementation of organizational organogram and freezing of vacant posts, particularly

in the cases where critical posts need to be reprioritized in line with the requirements of Provincial
Committee on Monitoring Team (PCMT);
• Management of all identified personnel inefficiencies such as additional educators in the
establishment, PILLIR cases etc.

• The school funding subsidy for public ordinary schools in 2023/24 is provided in line with the
nationally prescribed Norms and Standards for School Funding and thus catered for as such, in

the baseline.
