Tables 16 and 17 above show summaries of payments and estimates of expenditure per sub-programme
and economic classification. Overall expenditure increased from R135.162 million in 2019/20 to a revised

estimate of R157.897 million in 2022/23, whilst 2023/24 shows a decline of 30.1 percent due to fiscal
contraints. The growth in allocation over the outer years caters for inflationery adjustments and the entire
funding goes towards subsidies to registered schools.

and support remains constant over the period.
