Question NW1662 to the Minister of Basic Education
29 June 2017 - NW1662
Boshoff, Ms SH to ask the Minister of Basic Education
Whether, with regard to the presentation by her department to the Portfolio Committees of Basic Education and Transport entitled Scholar Transport Presentation to the Portfolio Committee on Basic Education on 23 May 2017, each provincial budget for scholar transport is ring-fenced from other education-related expenses; if not, why not; if so, what are the relevant details?
Reply:
Learner transport is funded from the provincial equitable share. Since this budget is not earmarked, it is not ring-fenced.
