Recurrent Costs
3.21 By September 1979, if the target figures of places are fully achieved, there will be an enrolment in junior secondary forms of about 282,000 and in senior secondary forms of about 86,000, plus 12,960 places in Form VI. However, as 1979 will be the end of the transitional period, during which enrolments in schools will have been building up towards these target figures, all places in higher forms will not have been filled. By 1983, the enrolment pattern based on 100% of the 12-14 age group in junior secondary forms and 40% in senior secondary forms should be fully operative. Table III gives an estimate of recurrent costs for the four key years 1974, 1976, 1979 and 1983, based on mid-1974 costs.
