Quote on Pre-Budget Expectations in Education sector – Mr. Ashish Tibdewal

Mr. Ashish Tibdewal, Country Director – India, Global Schools Foundation

As we eagerly await the upcoming budget, the education sector in India is hopeful for significant reforms and investments that will propel the sector towards progress and development. The previous budgets have fallen short of adequately addressing the pressing needs of the education sector, resulting in limited resources and infrastructure for schools and educators. The upcoming budget must allocate substantial funds towards improving the quality of education, enhancing digital infrastructure, and providing adequate training and support for teachers.

Measures such as increasing the allocation for education, promoting digital literacy, and incentivizing private sector participation in education can play a pivotal role in addressing the shortcomings of previous budgets. The government must also prioritize initiatives that ensure equitable access to education for all, especially in rural and marginalized communities. By prioritizing these measures, the budget has the potential to transform the education landscape in India and pave the way for a brighter future for our youth
