The education sector has high hopes for the Budget 2024-25. Experts believe that this time, the government should focus specifically on strengthening the educational infrastructure, training teachers, and promoting digital education. Special plans are also needed to bridge the gap between schools in rural and urban areas.
If economic conditions remain favorable and the government prioritizes education, we could see an increase beyond the 13% mark. This would align with the trend of continuous support for educational initiatives and the need to strengthen the educational framework further. In addition, it will provide continuous support for educational initiatives, enabling robust funding for infrastructure development, technological integration, and critical programs in schools and higher education institutions.- Ms. Priya John, Principal of DPS Indirapuram.
The nation needs to align capital expenditure with investments in human resources to bridge global gaps in education. With the forthcoming Union Budget 2024-25, we anticipate that the government should increase the education budget beyond 13%, further strengthening the educational framework. In addition, it should also prioritize financial support for academic-industry collaboration to forge robust connections between educational institutions and industries.- Mr. Neeraj Kansal, Founder and CEO of Crack Academy.
