amounts have been accounted for by the schools in separate bank accounts. A glance at the figures, quarter wise, shows that the services, by value have varied a lot from quarter to quarter and school to school. This is because, when prodded, the services increased; and otherwise there was a tendency to take it easy. This shows the potential that the school technical group has and also the need for an incentive system and community control on the services, to do the prodding. Another way of looking at these is to consider the services as a % of the Grants received. The non-grant expenditure is what is paid for by the community. We have been able to reach a level where roughly 1/4 to 1/2 of our total expenditure comes from locally generated funds, through community services. In other words, we are spending that much more than our funds provide for. The figures for some years are given below, Table Ill: Expenditure from Grants and Non Grant sources.
