| 1. |
Approval has been granted for the upward adaptation of the minimum income limit for the means test (Addendum A) from R60 000 to R150 000 per annum for the calculating of boarding bursaries to learners who board at public school hostels, as well as private boarding and transport bursaries, as from 01 April 2018. |
| 2. |
When calculating the parent’s contribution in terms of the means test, only biological children and foster children (learners who are officially in foster care) must be accepted as dependants. |
| 3. |
A parent who, on account of his/her income, qualifies for the total exemption from the payment of the specified boarding fees, will still have to make a contribution of R20,00 per term, notwithstanding the fact that he/she is exempted from making any contribution according to the means test in Addendum A. |
| 4. |
The content of this minute must be brought to the attention of all concerned. |
