Education sector not given enough funds, say UTF leaders
Cut in allocation an indication of march towards privatisation of education sector in the days to come, they allege Leaders of the Andhra Pradesh United Teachers’ Federation on Thursday said “inadequate budget allocation indicates privatisation of the education sector in the days to come”. Prasad said development of the education sector would not be possible with allocation of only 10.6 % of the funds in the State budget announced for 2023-24, which is 0.2 % less than last year’s allocation. They said while the government claimed an increase in number of students enrolling in the State-run schools as a result of the welfare schemes introduced in the Government schools, the budget allocated for implementation of the Jagananna Amma Vodi scheme remained the same as last year at ₹6,500 crore. For higher education sector, the funds were reduced from 7.8% to 7.3% this year, they said, adding that it only indicated a march towards privatisation.
