The training budget decreased from R15.599 million in 2021/22 to a revised estimate of R13.400 million in 2024/25. In 2025/26, training budget increases by 27.9 per cent from R13.400 million to R17.143 million due to funds that were reprioritised to cater for a cost pressure experienced on bursaries for employees during the 2024/25 financial year, which decreased the revised estimate. For the 2025/26 financial year, various relevant training as per the needs analysis and Personal Development Programs will be provided to those identified employees. The department will not offer new bursaries to new applicants for the 2025 academic year due to cost pressures. 9.3 Structural Changes None. 269
