With regard to the Social Assistance programme, the General Household Survey released by Statistics South Africa, showed that children benefitting from the CSG are more likely to go to School. The percentage of low income households which receive any kind of grant and were sending their children to school increased from 73% in 2003 to 81% in 2007 and the school attendance ratio for individuals aged 5-19 is higher in households receiving grants than those who do not receive them.
