Learning steps: On the Union Budget and education

The Hindu  

Besides some high-profile announcements, such as an AI Centre of Excellence for education with an allocation of ₹500 crore, broadband connectivity for schools, the expansion of five third-generation IITs, and increased funding for Indian knowledge systems, Budget 2025 has promised higher allocations for education compared to last year’s revised estimates. The release of the ASER 2024 report in the same week as the Union Budget highlighted gaps in India’s school education system, particularly in foundational literacy and numeracy. Early education is being prioritised as the key to achieving full FLN, but a critical gap remains: the two years before Class 1 are managed by underpaid anganwadi workers, who are already overburdened and often lack adequate training to deliver on FLN goals. Over the next few years, depending on the progress made, the government must further strengthen school education investments to ensure India meets its full FLN target.
