national sphere, and not the Department of Higher Education and Training as the latter does not generally provide servic- es to children under the age of eighteen years.
There is no simple way to measure the relative adequacy of provincial allocations. It might seem that per capita calculations could serve this purpose. This simple ap- proach is to some extent appropriate for school education, and the section on edu- cation below discusses the patterns in per learner expenditure by province.
Where there are appropriate measures for provincial comparisons these are pre- sented in the relevant sections. Table 7 gives the percentage of the total provincial budget allocated to each of the three sec- tors covered in the analysis. For Education, the percentage ranges from 36% (Western Cape) to 47% (Eastern Cape), for Health from 25% (Mpumalanga) to 36% (Western Cape), and for Social Development from 2% (KwaZulu-Natal and Limpopo) to 5% (Northern Cape).
This illustrates the challenges involved in cross-province comparisons. The high per-
centage for Education in Eastern Cape is, for example, surprising for anyone with knowledge of the serious problems in the sector in that province, while Western Cape – with the lowest percentage – con- sistently reports the highest pass rates in the Grade 12 examinations.
This pattern is, at least in part, a reflection of the limited amount given to other more “discretionary” sectors in Eastern Cape and the larger amount of discretionary funds in Western Cape. However, the pattern also reflects the relatively high proportion of children in the Eastern Cape population.
