A comparative analysis of education expenditure in Eastern Cape schools – November 2004 6.1. Scenario 1: No Combined Schools or Small Secondary Schools This scenario simulates the impact of a three year phased introduction of the more conventional grade R-7 primary school and grade 8-12 secondary school system, coupled with the closure of small secondary schools of that cannot reach an enrolment of 300 or more. This system was described in section 5.1 above. It is important to note that small primary schools are not closed, but their LER and LCR are targeted to rise to the space and class norms set out. The impact of these structural changes is that the average LER would rise slightly from 32.2 to 33.4 and the LCR would fall slightly from 39.0 to 38.4 over the three year period. Permanent educator numbers fall gradually from the current in post numbers of 64,845 in 2004/05 to a filled establishment of 62,505 in 2007/08. The impact of this scenario on the public school budget is set out in the table and charts below. It is a relatively favourable scenario, with both the size and relative proportion of the non-personnel non-capital budget rising to R943 million by 2007/08 and stabilizing at between 8% to 9% of the total public school budget. At R450, NPNC per capita rises to close to the national target by 2006/07. Capital expenditure would stabilise at R306 million in 2007/08, close to the figure needed to eliminate the backlog over a ten year period.
