Hoe bedryf jy \u2019n skool met net sowat R6 per kind per dag? Dit is die vraag wat talle skole sal moet beantwoord weens provinsiale onderwysdepartemente wat vir die soveelste keer versuim het om hulpbrontoewysings betyds aan skole te betaal.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNet drie provinsies het alle uitstaande betalings aan skole gemaak voor of op die sperdatum van 15 November. Slegs die provinsiale onderwysdepartemente in die Wes-Kaap, Noordwes en die Vrystaat het hul grondwetlike plig teenoor ons kinders nagekom. Die ander 66% van die provinsies druip weer,\u201d s\u00ea dr. Jaco Deacon, uitvoerende hoof van die skoolbeheerliggaam-organisasie Fedsas<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ingevolge die Nasionale Norme en Standaarde van Skoolbefondsing moet provinsiale onderwysdepartemente hierdie hulpbrontoewysings twee keer per jaar (voor 15 Mei en voor 15 November) aan openbare skole oorbetaal. Skole gebruik dit vir die aankoop van skryfbehoeftes en handboeke, betaling van munisipale rekeninge vir water en elektrisiteit en ander kostes verwant aan die bedryf van \u2019n skool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deacon s\u00ea hierdie patroon van onbevoegdheid herhaal elke ses maande sonder enige gevolge vir provinsiale onderwyshoofde en amptenare. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn die Noord-Kaap het skole nou eers die eerste gedeelte van die 2025-oorbetalings ontvang. Alle oorbetalings tot dusver was gelde verskuldig uit die 2024-begroting. Skole in di\u00e9 provinsie het nou sowat 20% van die 2025-oorbetaling ontvang, wat beteken die nuwe skooljaar begin sonder dat die vorige jaar se oorbetalings afgehandel is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In die meeste provinsies was daar \u2019n gedeeltelike betaling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMaar vir \u2019n skool wat nie skoolfonds mag hef nie en in elk geval slegs R8,77 per kind per dag ontvang, tel elke sent. As 25% hiervan teruggehou word, is die bedrag van R6,57 per kind per dag \u2019n klap in die gesig van ons kinders.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘Skande dat so min geld by skole uitkom’<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Deacon s\u00ea onderwysbesteding is een van die grootste uitgawes wat deur die parlement goedgekeur word. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDit is \u2019n skande dat so min van hierdie geld by skole uitkom. Ons sal ernstig moet besin oor hierdie lomp, duur struktuur, met te veel amptenare en te min opvoeders en ondersteuning vir skole.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Die inwerkingstelling van die verpligte gr.R stuur ook op \u2019n reuse-krisis af, met geen bykomende fondse in provinsies om hierdie Bela-wysiging te implementeer nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPresident Ramaphosa het duidelik die verkeerde inligting ontvang toe hy die volle wysigingswet in werking laat tree het. Ons voorsien dat skole, skoolhoofde en beheerliggame volgende jaar gaan bontstaan om oplossings te vind vir die gevolge van politici se swak besluitneming en beplanning.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Indien die wiele op nasionale vlak begin rol, is daar geen versekering dat provinsiale onderwysdepartemente hul kant sal bring nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kinders, skole word benadeel deur sistemiese verval<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAs die oorbetaling van hulpbrontoewysings die maatstaf is, laat dit kommer ontstaan oor hoe bykomende fondse bestuur sal word. Dan praat ons nie eens van die sowat R150 miljoen wat onderwysdepartemente vanjaar moes terugbetaal omdat dit bloot net nie bestee is nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deacon s\u00ea die minister van basiese onderwys sal die sweep onder LUR\u2019e moet klap wat toelaat dat skole en kinders benadeel word. Die oorsigrol rus ook op die president, wat met die premiers moet skakel. Selfs die parlement se portefeuljekomitee het kinders vanjaar in die steek gelaat deur nie na die kernfunksies van departemente te kyk nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDie sistemiese verval strek wyer as nasionale en provinsiale onderwysdepartemente en die slagoffers is ons kwesbare kinders en daarmee saam die toekoms van ons land,” sluit Deacon af. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
