The KwaZulu-Natal Treasury has taken the drastic step of freezing most of the Department of Education’s funding after the department overspent its budget earlier this year. The decision comes amid serious allegations of gross financial mismanagement, raising deep concerns about the stability of public schooling in the province.
📉 What This Means for Public Schools in KZN
With the freeze in place, Treasury will only release funds for essential services like teacher salaries. However, many other critical needs may be disrupted:
- ❌ Textbook & Stationery Delays – learners may not receive the resources they need on time.
- ❌ Stalled Infrastructure Projects – classroom expansions, renovations, and repairs could be indefinitely postponed.
- ❌ Support Programmers at Risk – scholar transport and feeding schemes may be scaled back.
- ❌ Teacher & Learner Pressure – schools could be left with fewer support staff and limited resources, widening the gap between well-resourced and struggling schools.
