Nodada, Mr BB to ask the Minister of Basic Education to ask the Minister of Basic Education
What is the estimate of the total annual additional costs that will be incurred by her department for moving from the 1% notch increase to the 1,5% notch increase in educator salaries?
Reply:
During negotiations following PSCBC Resolution No. 01 of 2018, extensive costing of various modes of implementation was undertaken. The final cost estimate of the mode finally implemented, was that the compensation of employees (CoE) baseline for provincial education departments was set to increase by R347 million, after the first leg of a 0.3% increment in 2018/19 with the increase in 2019/20 being R1094 million following the second leg increment completing the 0.5%.
