Circular 0034/2008 of 30 September 2008 informed public ordinary schools of their Norms & Standards allocation for the 2009/10 financial year.

The N&S allocation is intended primarily for LTSM, local purchases, municipal services, essential day-by-day maintenance of school buildings, grounds and equipment (non-scheduled maintenance), and other everyday expenses.
It is suggested that schools divide their available allocation as follows among the various expenditure categories:
- 50% for learning and teaching support material (LTSM) orders for 2010. Each learner must have a textbook for each learning area/subject.
- 24% for municipal services. Schools may budget for a larger percentage if expenditure tendencies necessitate this.
- 6% for maintenance
- 20% for local purchases

Should there be a deviation from the Norms and Standards allocation, please ensure that a motivation for not using the earmarked percentage for LTSM (50%) is given and verified by the IMG Adviser and the Chairperson of the Governing Body.
