Ukukhululwa Kwemali Yesikole eNingizimu Afrika: Amalungelo e-SASA

Abaphathi bezikole bavame ukuchitha amahora becubungula amafomu okukhululwa, beqinisekisa imali yasekhaya, futhi belungisa ukungahambisani kwemali yokukhokha. Abazali abangakwazi ukukhokha imali yesikole bayakhathazeka ngokuthi abantwana babo bangase baxoshwe noma baphuthelwe imisebenzi. Ukukhululwa kwemali yesikole eNingizimu Afrika yilungelo lomthetho ngaphansi koMthetho Wezikole WaseNingizimu Afrika (SASA) wango-1996, futhi zombili izinhlangothi kudingeka ziqonde kahle imithetho. Lolu hlu luchaza ukuthi ubani ofanele, indlela yokufaka isicelo, amadokhumenti adingekayo, nokuthi izikole kufanele zenzeni ngaphansi kwe-SASA ne-National Norms and Standards for School Funding (NSSF).

I-SASA ivikela abafundi ekuxoshweni ngenxa yokungakhokhi lapho isicelo sokukhululwa sesifakiwe noma ukukhululwa sekunikeziwe. Sifaka ukufaneleka (okuphelele nokuyingxenye), inqubo yesicelo, iziphoqo zesikole, umehluko phakathi kwezikole ze-Quintile 1–3 (ezingakhokhisi) neze-Quintile 4–5 (ezikhokhayo), kanye nenqubo yokukhalaza.

Yini Ukukhululwa Kwemali Yesikole eNingizimu Afrika Ngaphansi Kwe-SASA?

Ukukhululwa kwemali yesikole yilungelo lomthetho ngaphansi koMthetho Wezikole WaseNingizimu Afrika (uMthetho 84 wango-1996) olunika abazali noma abondli ithuba lokufaka isicelo sokukhululwa okuphelele noma okuyingxenye kwemali yesikole uma bengakwazi ukuyikhokha. Isigaba 39 sidinga ukuthi zonke izikole zikahulumeni zamukele inqubomgomo yokukhululwa kwemali, futhi Isigaba 40 sigunyaza ukuthi izikole azikwazi ukuxosha, ukumisa, noma ukuvimbela abafundi ekutholeni imisebenzi yezemfundo ngenxa yokungakhokhi, uma isicelo sokukhululwa sesifakiwe noma ukukhululwa sekunikeziwe.

Uhlelo lokukhululwa luyaqaphela ukuthi imindeni eminingi yaseNingizimu Afrika ibhekene nobunzima bangempela bezezimali ngenxa yokungasebenzi, ukugula, ukushona komuntu ondla umndeni, noma ezinye izimo. Imindeni akufanele iphoqeleke ukukhetha phakathi kokukhokha imali yesikole nokuhlangabezana nezidingo eziyisisekelo.

Indima Yokuhlukaniswa Kwama-Quintile

Izikole zikahulumeni zaseNingizimu Afrika zihlukaniswe zaba ngamaqembu amahlanu (i-quintile 1–5) ngokususelwa esimweni sezomnotho nezenhlalo yemiphakathi ezizungezile. Lokhu kuhlukaniswa kunquma amazinga okuxhaswa nguhulumeni kanye nezakhiwo zemali yokukhokha:

I-Quintile	Incazelo	Ukuxhaswa Nguhulumeni	Isimo Semali	Ukufaneleka Ukukhululwa
Quintile 1	Imiphakathi ehlwempu kunayo yonke	Ukuxhaswa okuphakeme kunakho konke (100%)	Isikole esingakhokhisi	Ukukhululwa okuzenzakalelayo (akukho mali ekhokhwayo)
Quintile 2	Imiphakathi ehlwempu kakhulu	Ukuxhaswa okuphezulu (95%)	Isikole esingakhokhisi	Ukukhululwa okuzenzakalelayo (akukho mali ekhokhwayo)
Quintile 3	Imiphakathi ehlwempu	Ukuxhaswa okuphakathi nendawo okuphezulu (90%)	Isikole esingakhokhisi	Ukukhululwa okuzenzakalelayo (akukho mali ekhokhwayo)
Quintile 4	Imiphakathi enemali ephakathi nendawo	Ukuxhaswa okuphakathi nendawo (60%)	Isikole esikhokhayo	Kufanele afake isicelo sokukhululwa uma engakwazi ukukhokha
Quintile 5	Imiphakathi ecebe kunayo yonke	Ukuxhaswa okuphansi (40%)	Isikole esikhokhayo	Kufanele afake isicelo sokukhululwa uma engakwazi ukukhokha

Umehluko obalulekile: Izikole ze-Quintile 1–3 zibizwa ngokuthi “izikole ezingakhokhisi” futhi azikwazi ukubiza imali yesikole ephoqelekile. Uma isikole se-Quintile 1–3 sizama ukubiza imali, abazali bakhululwa ngokuzenzakalelayo. Izikole ze-Quintile 4–5 “yizikole ezikhokhayo” futhi zingabiza imali, kodwa kufanele zibe nezindlela zokukhululwa emindenini efanelekile.

Ubani Ofanele Ukukhululwa Kwemali Yesikole?

Ukufaneleka ukukhululwa kwemali kuncike emalini yasekhaya yakho uma iqhathaniswa nemali yesikole yonyaka. I-National Norms and Standards for School Funding (NSSF) inikeza imikhawulo yemali ecacile.

Imibandela Yokukhululwa Okuphelele

Ufanele ukukhululwa okuphelele (ukukhululwa kwe-100% yemali) uma imali yasekhaya yakho ehlangene yonyaka ingaphansi kwezikhathi eziyi-10 zemali yesikole yonyaka. Isibonelo, uma imali yonyaka ingu-R5 000, ufanele uma imali yasekhaya ingaphansi kuka-R50 000 ngonyaka.

Imali yasekhaya ifaka yonke imiholo, amaholo, izibonelelo zikahulumeni, imali yerenti, imali yebhizinisi, nanoma yimiphi eminye imithombo yemali evamile evela kubazali/abondli bobabili, kubo bonke abancikile, nakunoma imuphi umuntu omdala ohlanganyela ekukhokheleni izindleko zasekhaya.

Imibandela Yokukhululwa Okuyingxenye

Ufanele ukukhululwa okuyingxenye uma imali yasekhaya iphakathi kwezikhathi eziyi-10 nezingama-30 zemali yonyaka, ukukhululwa kuncipha njengoba imali yenyuka:

Imali yasekhaya (okuphindwe ngemali yonyaka)	Ukukhululwa	Ukhokhani
10–15 izikhathi	75%	25% yemali
15–20 izikhathi	50%	50% yemali
20–25 izikhathi	25%	75% yemali
25–30 izikhathi	Akukho	Imali ephelele

Isibonelo: uma imali yonyaka ingu-R6 000, umndeni onemali engu-R60 000–R90 000 ukhokha u-R1 500 (ukukhululwa okungu-75%); u-R90 000–R120 000 ukhokha u-R3 000 (50%); u-R120 000–R150 000 ukhokha u-R4 500 (25%); ngaphezu kuka-R180 000 ukhokha u-R6 000 ophelele.

Izimo Ezikhethekile

Ngisho noma imali yakho idlula imikhawulo, ungase usafaneleke ukukhululwa ngaphansi kwezimo ezikhethekile:

Ukushona komuntu ondla umndeni: Uma umholi wemali oyinhloko eshone kule minyaka eyi-12 edlule
Ukudedelwa emsebenzini noma ukulahlekelwa umsebenzi: Uma umuntu ondla umndeni elahlekelwe umsebenzi futhi efuna umsebenzi ngenkuthalo
Izindleko zezempilo: Uma izindleko zezempilo zasekhaya zidlula u-20% wemali yonyaka
Abafundi abaningi: Uma unabantwana abathathu noma ngaphezulu ezikoleni ezikhokhayo ngesikhathi esifanayo
Ukukhubazeka: Uma ilungu lomndeni linokukhubazeka okudinga ukunakekelwa kwezempilo okuqhubekayo noma ukusekelwa

Izikole kufanele zicabangele lezi zimo lapho zibuyekeza izicelo zokukhululwa, ngisho noma imikhawulo yemali ingafinyelelwa.

Indlela Yokufaka Isicelo Sokukhululwa Kwemali Yesikole

Inqubo yokufaka isicelo kufanele ibe lula futhi ifinyeleleke kalula. Landela lezi zinyathelo:

Isinyathelo 1: Thola Ifomu Lesicelo

Cela ifomu lesicelo sokukhululwa ehhovisi lokuphatha lesikole sakho. Izikole kufanele zinikeze la mafomu mahhala ngazo zonke izilimi ezisemthethweni ezisetshenziswa esikoleni. Ungase futhi wehlise amafomu kuwebhusayithi yomnyango wezemfundo wesifundazwe sakho.

Isinyathelo 2: Qoqa Amadokhumenti Adingekayo

Uzodinga ubufakazi bemali yasekhaya nezimo. Amadokhumenti adingekayo afaka:

Amadokhumenti abalulekile:

Ifomu lesicelo sokukhululwa eligcwalisiwe
Amakhophi aqinisekisiwe ezitifiketi zobunikazi zawo wonke amalungu asekhaya
Amakhophi aqinisekisiwe ezitifiketi zokuzalwa zabo bonke abantwana
Ubufakazi bemali: amaphepha eholo (izinyanga ezintathu ezidlule), amastatimende ebhange, izitifiketi zentela (uma uzenzela), noma isifungo uma ungasebenzi
Ubufakazi bezibonelelo zikahulumeni (izincwadi ze-SASSA noma amastatimende ebhange)
Ubufakazi bendawo yokuhlala (ibhili yezinsiza, isivumelwano sokuqasha, noma isifungo)

Amadokhumenti angeziwe ezimweni ezikhethekile:

Isitifiketi sokushona, incwadi yokudedelwa emsebenzini, izitifiketi/amabhili ezempilo, noma izitifiketi zokukhubazeka (njengoba kufaneleka)

Okubalulekile: Wonke amakhophi kufanele aqinisekiswe yi-Commissioner of Oaths. Izikole kufanele zigcine kuphela amakhophi aqinisekisiwe, hhayi imibhalo yoqobo.

Isinyathelo 3: Gcwalisa Bese Uyathumela

Gcwalisa ifomu ngokugcwele nangokunembile, kufaka imininingwane yawo wonke amalungu asekhaya, ukwahlukaniswa kwemali, izindleko, nezimo ezikhethekile. Thumela kanye nawo wonke amadokhumenti asekelayo ngaphambi komhla wokugcina (ngokuvamile phakathi kwezinsuku ezingama-30 kusukela ekwaziseni kwemali) futhi ucele irisidi eqinisekisa ukuthunyelwa.

Isinyathelo 4: Ukubuyekezwa Kwesicelo

I-SGB yesikole kufanele isungule ikomidi lokukhululwa (elifaka amalungu e-SGB, uthisha omkhulu, nomphathi wezimali) ukuze abuyekeze izicelo. Izikole kufanele ziphendule phakathi kwezinsuku ezingama-30, zicabangela ukunemba kwemali, ukuqinisekiswa kwamadokhumenti, izimo ezikhethekile, nokuthobela i-SASA/NSSF.

Isinyathelo 5: Thola Isinqumo

Isikole kufanele sinikeze isinqumo esibhaliwe esichaza ukuthi ukukhululwa kunikeziwe yini (okuphelele noma okuyingxenye), iphesenti, izizathu, nolwazi lokukhalaza. Uma sivunyiwe, ukukhululwa kusebenza unyaka wonke wezifundo (kudingeka uphinde ufake isicelo unyaka nonyaka). Uma senqatshiwe, unelungelo lokukhalaza.

Iziphoqo Zesikole Ekukhululweni Kwemali

Izikole zinemithwalo ecacile yomthetho ngaphansi kwe-SASA. Isikole ngasinye sikahulumeni kufanele:

1. Sinikeze inqubomgomo yokukhululwa: Sibe nenqubomgomo yokukhululwa kwemali ebhaliwe eyamukelwe yi-SGB, etholakala kuzo zonke izilimi ezisemthethweni, iboniswe kahle, futhi ifakwe emaphaketheni okwamukelwa.

2. Asikwazi ukuxosha abafundi: Izikole azivunyelwe ukwenqaba ukwamukelwa, ukumisa abafundi, ukuvimbela ukubamba iqhaza emisebenzini, ukugodla amarepoti, noma ukubiza imali ezikoleni ze-Quintile 1–3 ngenxa yokungakhokhi.

3. Sicubungule izicelo ngokungenamkhondo: Yamukele izicelo phakathi kwezinsuku ezingama-30 kusukela ekwaziseni kwemali, sibuyekeze phakathi kwezinsuku ezingama-30, sinikeze izinqumo ezibhaliwe ezinezizathu ezicacile, sigcine imfihlo, futhi siphathe zonke izicelo ngokufanayo.

4. Sigcine amarekhodi: Gcina amarekhodi okukhululwa ngenjongo yokucwaninga futhi ubike izibalo eminyangweni yezemfundo yezifundazwe unyaka nonyaka.

Ukwephulwa Okuvamile Namalungelo Akho

Ukwephulwa okuvamile kufaka: ukubiza imali ezikoleni ze-Quintile 1–3, ukwenqaba amafomu okukhululwa, ukubambezela ukucubungula, ukwenqaba ngaphandle kokubuyekeza okufanele, noma ukuxosha abafundi ngenxa yokungakhokhi.

Uma amalungelo akho ephulwa: Bhala phansi konke, xhumana ne-SGB, dlulisela udaba ehhovisi lesifunda lomnyango wezemfundo wesifundazwe sakho, faka isikhalazo esisemthethweni ku-HOD, noma cela usizo lomthetho ku-Legal Aid South Africa.

Khumbula: Akekho umfundi ongaxoshwa esikoleni ngenxa yokungakhokhi uma efanele ukukhululwa noma esefake isicelo sokukhululwa.

I-Quintile 1–3 vs I-Quintile 4–5: Umehluko Obalulekile

Izikole Ze-Quintile 1–3 (Izikole Ezingakhokhisi)

Ezitholakala emiphakathini ehlwempu kunayo yonke, lezi zikole zithola ukuxhaswa okuphakeme kunakho konke nguhulumeni (90–100%), azikwazi ukubiza imali ephoqelekile, futhi bonke abafundi bakhululwa ngokuzenzakalelayo. Asikho isicelo esidingekayo; uma isikole sizama ukubiza imali, lokhu akulungile emthethweni futhi kufanele kubikwe. Izikole zingacela iminikelo yokuzinikela, kodwa le akufanele iphoqeleke.

Izikole Ze-Quintile 4–5 (Izikole Ezikhokhayo)

Ezitholakala emiphakathini enemali ephakathi nendawo kuya ecebile, lezi zikole zithola ukuxhaswa okuphansi nguhulumeni (40–60%) futhi zingabiza imali (kuya ngemvume ye-SGB), kodwa kufanele zibe nezindlela zokukhululwa. Abazali kufanele bafake isicelo sokukhululwa uma bengakwazi ukukhokha, izikole kufanele zicubungule izicelo, futhi abafundi abakwazi ukuxoshwa uma ukukhululwa kusalindwe noma sekuvunyiwe. Ngisho nasezikoleni ezikhokhayo, akekho umfundi ongenqatshelwa imfundo uma efanele ukukhululwa.

Inqubo Yokukhalaza

Uma isicelo sakho sokukhululwa senqatshwe, unelungelo lokukhalaza ukuze kuphinde kubuyekezwe ngokungathathi hlangothi. Ungakhalaza uma isicelo sakho senqatshiwe kodwa ukholelwa ukuthi uyafaneleka, uma uthole ukukhululwa okuyingxenye kodwa ukholelwa ukuthi ufanele okuphelele, uma isikole sehlulekile ukucubungula phakathi kwezinsuku ezingama-30, noma uma ukholelwa ukuthi isinqumo besingalungile noma singeyilo.

Indlela Yokukhalaza

Isinyathelo 1: Cela ifomu lokukhalaza ekuphatheni kwesikole (izikole kufanele zisinikeze).

Isinyathelo 2: Thumela ukukhalaza kwakho phakathi kwezinsuku eziyi-14. Faka ifomu eligcwalisiwe, ikhophi yesicelo sokuqala nesinqumo, noma imaphi amadokhumenti angeziwe asekelayo, kanye nencazelo ecacile yokuthi kungani isinqumo besingalungile.

Isinyathelo 3: Ukukhalaza kubuyekezwa yihhovisi lesifunda lomnyango wezemfundo wesifundazwe sakho noma ikomidi lokukhalaza elizimele.

Isinyathelo 4: Uzothola isinqumo esibhaliwe phakathi kwezinsuku ezingama-30. Isinqumo sokukhalaza siyisinqumo sokugcina futhi siyabophezela.

Thumela phakathi kwezinsuku eziyi-14, ucacise ngqo ukuthi kungani isinqumo besingalungile, futhi unikeze ubufakazi. Gcina amarekhodi awo wonke amaqhaza okuxhumana.

Izinqubo Ezingcono Zezikole Eziphatha Ukukhululwa Kwemali

Kubaphathi bezikole, ukuphatha ukukhululwa ngempumelelo kubalulekile ekuthobeleni umthetho. Izinqubo ezibalulekile zifaka:

1. Yakha inqubomgomo eqhelele: Chaza kahle ukufaneleka, izinqubo, izidingo zamadokhumenti, izikhathi, nenqubo yokukhalaza.

2. Qeqesha abasebenzi: Qinisekisa ukuthi bonke abasebenzi bokuphatha bayaziqonda izidingo ze-SASA, uqeqeshe amalungu ekomidi lokukhululwa, unikeze ukuqeqeshwa kokuzwelana, futhi ugcine abasebenzi belaziswe ngezinguquko zenqubomgomo.

3. Sebenzisa ubuchwepheshe: Uhlelo lokuphatha isikole olulandelela izicelo zokukhululwa, elibala amaphesenti kusukela emikhawulweni yemali, futhi elikhiqiza imibiko ye-SGB nokungeniswa kwezifundazwe, kunciphisa amaphutha futhi kongela isikhathi. Bheka umhlahlandlela wethu we-software yokuqoqa imali yesikole eNingizimu Afrika ukuze uthole izinketho.

4. Xhumana ngokuzimisela: Faka ulwazi lokukhululwa emaphaketheni okwamukelwa, boniswa inqubomgomo kahle, thumela izikhumbuzo zomhla wokugcina, nikeza amafomu kuzo zonke izilimi ezisemthethweni, futhi unikeze usizo kubazali.

5. Gcina imfihlo: Gcina ulwazi lwezezimali luyimfihlo, uvimbele ukufinyelela kubasebenzi abagunyaziwe kuphela, uqinisekise ukuthi isimo sokukhululwa asaziswa, futhi ulondoloze amadokhumenti abucayi.

Izinselele ezivamile: Izicelo ezingaphelele (nikeza amaluhlu okuhlola nosizo), izicelo ezidlule isikhathi (zamukele ngezizathu eziqinisekile), ubunzima bokuqinisekisa (yamukela izifungo zomsebenzi ongahleliwe), nomthelela wesabelomali (hlela amazinga okukhululwa angu-5–15%).

6. Hlela umthelela wezezimali: Iningi lezikole ezikhokhayo libona amazinga okukhululwa angu-5–20% (i-Quintile 4 ivame ukuba ngu-10–20%, i-Quintile 5 ivame ukuba ngu-5–15%), kuya ngezimo zendawo namazinga emali. Lapho behlela imali, ama-SGB kufanele alinganise amazinga okukhululwa esebenzisa idemografi nedatha yomlando, awafake ekubaleni imali, futhi acabangele ukuxhaswa nguhulumeni (40–60% kwe-Quintile 4–5). Linganisa ukukwazi ukukhokha nokusimama; imali ebekwe phezulu kakhulu inyusa amazinga okukhululwa.

Ukukhululwa kwemali yesikole eNingizimu Afrika yilungelo lomthetho ngaphansi kwe-SASA. Izikole ze-Quintile 1–3 azikwazi ukubiza imali; izikole ze-Quintile 4–5 kufanele zinikeze izindlela zokukhululwa. Ukukhululwa okuphelele kusebenza uma imali yasekhaya ingaphansi kwezikhathi eziyi-10 zemali yonyaka; ukukhululwa okuyingxenye kulandela isikali esehlayo esiyizikhathi eziyi-10 kuya kwezingama-30. Izikole azikwazi ukuxosha abafundi ngenxa yokungakhokhi uma ukukhululwa sekunikeziwe noma sekufakwe isicelo, futhi kukhona inqubo yokukhalaza. Abazali kufanele bazi amalungelo abo, bathumele ngesikhathi, futhi bakhalaze uma senqatshiwe. Izikole kufanele zamukele izinqubomgomo ezicacile, ziqeqeshe abasebenzi, futhi zigcine ukuthobela umthetho.

Ukuphatha ukukhululwa ngempumelelo kudinga ukulandelela okunembile, amadokhumenti acacile, nokuxhumana okuqhubekayo. I-Fundisa isiza izikole zaseNingizimu Afrika ukulandelela ukukhululwa kwemali ngokohlelo lweSigaba 39 se-SASA, ibale amaphesenti okukhululwa kusukela emikhawulweni yemali, futhi ikhiqize imibiko yemihlangano ye-SGB nokungeniswa kwezifundazwe. Bheka ukuthi i-Fundisa isekela kanjani ukuqoqwa kwemali nokuphathwa kokukhululwa kusuka kusizinda esisodwa. Ukuze uthole ukuqondiswa okwengeziwe, funda umhlahlandlela wokuphathwa kwezezimali kwe-SGB kanye namasu okuqoqa imali yesikole ezikoleni zaseNingizimu Afrika.

Imibuzo Evamile

Ingabe isikole singenqaba ukwamukela isicelo sami sokukhululwa?

Cha. Izikole ziphoqelekile ngokomthetho ukwamukela izicelo zokukhululwa kunoma yimuphi umzali ozifunayo. Uma isikole senqaba ukunikeza ifomu lesicelo noma ukwamukela isicelo sakho, lokhu kuphula Isigaba 39 se-SASA. Xhumana nehhovisi lesifunda lomnyango wezemfundo wesifundazwe sakho ukuze ubike lokhu kwephulwa. Izikole kufanele zinikeze amafomu mahhala futhi kuzo zonke izilimi ezisemthethweni ezisetshenziswa esikoleni.

Ingabe kudingeka ngiphinde ngifake isicelo sokukhululwa unyaka nonyaka?

Yebo, izicelo zokukhululwa zisebenza unyaka owodwa wezifundo kuphela. Kufanele uphinde ufake isicelo unyaka nonyaka, kodwa inqubo kufanele ibe lula uma izimo zakho zezimali zingashintshanga kakhulu. Ezinye izikole zivumela izicelo zokuvuselela ezilula uma isimo sakho singashintshile; bheka kuqala nokuphatha kwesikole sakho. Gcina amakhophi ezicelo zangaphambilini ukuze usheshise inqubo yokuvuselela.

Kwenzekani uma ngingakwazi ukukhokha imali yokukhululwa okuyingxenye (isb. 25% yemali)?

Uma impela ungakwazi ukukhokha ngisho nemali encishisiwe ngemva kokukhululwa okuyingxenye, ungacela ukubuyekezwa ngokususela ezimweni ezikhethekile. Bhala phansi isimo sakho (izindleko zezempilo, abantwana abaningi ezikoleni ezikhokhayo, izindleko ezingalindelekile) futhi uthumele isicelo esibhaliwe ekomidini lokukhululwa uchaza ukuthi kungani imali eyingxenye ingakhokheki. Izikole kufanele zicabangele izimo zangempela zobunzima, nakuba ukukhululwa okuphelele okungaphezu kwemikhawulo yemali kuncike ekunqumeni kwekomidi.

Ingabe izikole zingabiza “iminikelo yokuzinikela” esikhundleni semali ezikoleni ze-Quintile 1–3?

Izikole ze-Quintile 1–3 azikwazi ukubiza imali ephoqelekile, kodwa zingacela iminikelo yokuzinikela. Nokho, le minikelo kufanele ibe eyokuzinikela ngempela; izikole azikwazi ukuyenza isimo sokwamukelwa, ukubamba iqhaza emisebenzini, noma ukuthola amarepoti. Uma umnikelo “wokuzinikela” empeleni uphoqelekile, lokhu kuphula i-SASA. Bika lezi zinqubo emnyangweni wezemfundo wesifundazwe sakho. Izikole kufanele zihlukanise ngokucacile phakathi kwemali ephoqelekile (engekho emthethweni ezikoleni ze-Quintile 1–3) neminikelo yokuzinikela (evunyelwe kodwa okufanele ibe eyokuzikhethela).
