The department aims to increase the supply of newly qualified teachers in mathematics, science and technology in different phases by providing 38 000 Funza Lushaka bursaries to prospective teachers over the medium term.The number of bursary awards is set to decrease from 13 500 in 2018/19 to 13 000 in 2019/20 and 12 500 thereafter as the general increase in university costs exceeds this allocation’s average annual growth of 5.5% over the MTEF period.
