1. (a)(b) The following table (columns 2, 3 and 4) indicates the amounts spent on materials and stationery for the 2012/13, 2013/14 and 2014/15 financial years. Columns 5 and 6 indicate the estimated costs for the 2015/16 and 216/17 financial years.

The Kha Ri Gude Mass Literacy Campaign is managed nationally by the Department of Basic Education and hence all material and stationery is purchased nationally for the entire campaign. Information is therefore provided per province only as it is not available per district.

2. (a)(b) Columns 2, 3 and 4 in the table below indicate the actual number of volunteers who were employed on short term contracts on the Kha Ri Gude Mass Literacy Campaign and received a stipend in 2012, 2013 and 2014.

Column 6 and 7 in the table indicates the target number of volunteers for 2015 and 2016 to be employed on short term contracts on the Kha Ri Gude Mass Literacy Campaign based on the Census 2011 and the available budget.
