Six of the countrys nine provincial education departments have been rapped over failure to pay resource allocations to schools.
The federation of school governing bodies said departments should pay the allocations to public schools twice a year, before May 15 and November 15. Schools use the money for expenses such as stationery and textbooks, water and electricity.
Only the provincial education departments of the Western Cape, North West and Free State made this months payment, said Fedsas CEO Jaco Deacon.
