(2) Yes

Hostel accommodation is being planned for the Nancefield township at Messina in the Northern Transvaal Region.

1986 — None

1987 — None

1988 — R2 412 500.

The particulars requested of the amount spent per Province, unfortunately, is not readily available as the Department of Transport administers the claims of the various bus services which mostly operate countrywide, on behalf of the Department of Education and Training.

NOTE:

In reply to a similar question (Question 1444) during 1988 an amount of R1 930 000 was mentioned. The difference between this amount and the above-mentioned amount can be ascribed to the fact that late in 1988 the Department undertook to subsidise the pupils’ contributions for the period 13 January 1988 to 31 March 1988 as well.

Information as provided by the provincial administrations.

In addition to the total, 263 nurses completed their training but cannot be identified per population group.

1. (1)
   1. (a) 123 in 1988. In 1975 there were no such teachers in the service of the Department. Sixty-nine of the aforementioned 123 teachers fill ordinary teaching posts at schools, while 54 render service as remedial advisers in the various regions. Each remedial adviser is responsible for a number of schools.
      1 500 panels were established for the identification and diagnosis of and rendering of assistance to pupils with learning and other problems. Remedial work forms an essential part of this assistance. Teachers on these panels receive in-service training.
      Owing to the system prevailing at this stage, it is not possible to supply a meaningful ratio of pupils: remedial teacher and of school: teacher.
   2. (b) (i) and (ii) lapse.
2. (2) (a) and (b) Yes.
   1. (i) The Departement’s statistics are not available according to province and the information on the number of remedial advisers are furnished per region:

The number of remedial teachers in ordinary teaching posts is as follows:

(ii) The regions differ from one another in respect of the geographical area covered, number of schools in each region and number of pupils per region.

1. (3) No. The Department follows the practice of offering remedial education within the ordinary classroom situation in ordinary schools. The rendering of assistance according to the system of panels for identification, diagnosis and assistance is gradually being extended to all public schools by means of in-service training programmes for selected teachers.
   1. (a) and (b) lapse.
2. (4) No. Although it is a high priority.
   1. (a) The employment of remedial teachers is very important but is to the benefit of a relatively small percentage of the total school population.
   2. (b) An effective system whereby education is provided to mainstream pupils which represent approximately 95% of the total enrolment in schools.

1. (a) (i) and (ii). A rough estimate done by the staff of the Legal Aid Board indicates that the Board may receive accounts for about R15,3 million in respect of live cases (some of them up to thirteen years old) over probably the next thirteen years. This is a contingent liability which becomes claimable in the future as and when these cases reach finality. Should these cases therefore not reach finality the contingent liability will be reduced accordingly.
2. (b) On 31 January 1989 the Board had R7 589 365 at its disposal for the financial year ending 31 March 1989. This includes the balance of funds appropriated, interest received and legal costs recovered. The administration costs of the Board amount to approximately 14% of its annual budget. The remainder is available for legal aid to needy persons. The Board therefore has sufficient funds to fulfil its financial obligations for the previous financial year which ended on 31 March 1989.
   The Board’s financial obligations in respect of live cases referred to in (a), must not be assessed in direct relation to its cash funds referred to in (b), since the cash funds only had to cover the Board’s cash flow until 31 March 1989. The Board is funded annually in such a way so as to be able to fulfil its accumulated financial obligations in a specific year. This is apparent from the budget of R15 million which has been appropriated to the Board for the current financial year, in contrast with the budget of R12 million for the previous financial year. The Government has also approved that the following amounts at the least would be appropriated over the next three years: 1990/91 financial year R17 million; 1991/92 financial year R19 million and 1992/93 financial year R22 million.
   I may add that due to the nature of the Legal Aid Board’s activities it occurs that cases, especially civil cases, are only disposed of years after legal representatives are instructed and that legal costs become payable only then. It is also not possible to predict in which financial year a case will be disposed of and the legal costs become payable. It is therefore difficult to budget accurately. The effect of the suspension of services and the restriction of legal costs is likewise unpredictable. However in the past, whenever an unforeseen shortfall loomed in a particular financial year, the Government has always provided the necessary additional funds.

Yes.

1. (a) (i) and (ii) For the period 1 January 1988 to 31 December 1988 legal aid was not granted in criminal and civil appeals and legal aid instructions were not given to advocates in lower courts in criminal as well as civil cases and to senior advocates in the Supreme Court in criminal as well as civil cases. For the period 1 January 1988 to 31 March 1988 legal aid was not granted in civil matters where the quantum of the claim was R1 200 or less for the period 1 April 1988 to 31 December 1988 in civil matters where the quantum of the claim was R2 000 or less. For the period 1 January 1988 to 30 November 1988 legal aid was not granted in industrial court matters. For the period of 1 January 1988 to 31 March 1988 legal costs in respect of divorce and related cases were restricted on the legal aid tariff to a maximum of R500; the legal costs in respect of the defence in criminal cases were restricted on the legal aid tariff to a maximum of R240 and R360 in district and regional courts, respectively; the legal costs in respect of applications or petitions after imposition of the death penalty were restricted on the legal aid tariff to a maximum of R360 per application or petition. For the period 1 April 1988 to 31 December 1988 legal costs in respect of divorce and related cases were restricted on the legal aid tariff to a maximum of R750 if one attorney was involved and R1 000 if two attorneys were involved: Provided that if permission was granted for the institution or defence of interlocutory actions, legal costs therefor could have been allowed in addition to the legal costs for the main action: Provided further that the legal costs for the interlocutory action were restricted on the legal aid tariff to a maximum of R500 if one attorney was involved and R750 if two attorneys were involved; the legal costs in respect of applications or petitions after imposition of the death penalty were restricted on the legal aid tariff to a maximum of R500 per application or petition. For the period 1 to 31 December 1988 legal costs in respect of industrial court matters were restricted as follows: For a consultation if section 43 proceedings were not instituted—the moneys as prescribed for a consultation in scale C of the tariff in the Magistrates’ Courts Rules, minus 20%; if section 43 proceedings were instituted—the moneys as prescribed in scale C of the tariff in the Magistrates’ Courts Rules, minus 20%, to a maximum of R500; if the legal aid mandate was extended to include section 46 proceedings—the moneys as prescribed in scale C of the tariff in the Magistrates’ Courts Rules, minus 20%, to a maximum of R250. The Director of the Legal Aid Board, however, retained the authority to grant legal aid to meritorious cases, to instruct advocates and senior advocates and to increase or remove restrictions.
