N.B. 2006/07 budget is before suspension <strong>of</strong> an anticipated R350 million to repay debt<br />
Table 51: 5: Nominal Budget/Expenditure Growth<br />
Year Growth<br />
2003/04 11,0%<br />
2004/05 4,7%<br />
2005/06 5,8%<br />
2006/07 * 13,22% 9,7%<br />
2007/08 13,08% 12,5%<br />
2008/09 10,63%<br />
7,0%<br />
* Budget reduced by an anticipated R350 million<br />
Growth rates show the impact <strong>of</strong> the financial crisis in 2004/05 and 2005/06 when<br />
expenditure stagnated in real terms. It is expected that next year will see real growth in<br />
funding for the first time in three years, followed by a significant increase in 2007/08<br />
once all debt has been repaid.<br />
It is important to note that the Provincial <strong>Education</strong> De<strong>part</strong>ment had an average real<br />
growth rate in funding from 1997/98 to 2004/05 - over seven years - <strong>of</strong> only 1, 06% per<br />
year. This level <strong>of</strong> growth was expected to accommodate:<br />
� the former Transkei and Ciskei in the provincial budget that in 1994/95 was funded at<br />
only 29% <strong>of</strong> requirements.<br />
� achieving equity in the Provincial <strong>Education</strong> De<strong>part</strong>ment.<br />
� contributing towards the elimination <strong>of</strong> infrastructure backlogs.<br />
� increasing learner numbers as learners who previously did not attend school started<br />
doing so.<br />
� providing adequate learner and teacher support materials.<br />
� implementing new policy initiatives such as reception year education, curriculum<br />
2005, ABET and literacy programmes, FET, etc<br />
