A challenge facing the Department was that they had received no Occupation Specific Dispensation (OSD) funds for adult and technical education. The Department therefore reported over expenditure on personnel as funds were transferred from other programmes to fund this item. The budget could be broken down into 75 percent - compensation, 9.8 percent - goods and services, 7.1 percent - transfers and subsidies, 6.3 percent - buildings. A further challenge was the backlog in respect of infrastructure.
