The Western Cape Department of Education has welcomed the additional provisional allocation to its Rapid School Build Programme.
Finance Minister, Enoch Godongwana, announced on Wednesday
that an additional R2.549 billion rand would be allocated to the province.
The allocation follows an application the province made
through the national budget facility for infrastructure.
“Our department submitted a rigorous application for the
funding in July 2023, competing against other departments and projects across
the country. National Treasury has provisionally approved an allocation of R251
million in 2024/25, R1.048 billion in 2025/26, and R1.25 billion in 2026/27”,
said the Western Cape Education MEC, David Maynier.
He added that the additional infrastructure funding
allocation will help to stabilize their plans for new schools over the medium
term and expand access to quality education in the Western Cape.
