B3.5 Performance and Budget Trends The budget for Independent Schools Subsidies amounts to R854 million indicating an increase of 16.7% from R731 million in 2018/19. The budget grew at a significant rate of 44.1% from 2015/16 to 2019/20. Further growth is projected to increase at an average rate of 9.2% over the 2019 MTEF to R949 million in 2021/22. The budget increase is attributed to the heightened support that is geared towards improving the quality of education in Independent Schools. The curriculum branch will continue to give support to schools to improve learner performance by providing them with LTSM and will also assist in the analysis of results to develop improvement plans. The implementation of CAPS will be monitored to ensure that class activities are of the required quality.
