School education takes biggest hit: Govt cuts proposed education spending by Rs 6,000 cr -Ritika Chopra

No announcements on recovering learning loss, support for children at risk of not returning to school.

The government’s proposed spending on education next year has been cut by Rs 6,000 crore at a time when the Covid-19-induced disruption is expected to have exacerbated students’ learning loss and school dropout rates.

The total education budget was slashed by 6 per cent from Rs 99,311 crore in 2020-21 to Rs 93,224 crore — the lowest in three years — with school education taking the biggest cut of almost Rs 5,000 crore. The allocation for higher education has decreased by roughly Rs 1,000 crore to Rs 38,350 crore this year.

The reduced spending also comes in the year when the Ministry of Education will start implementing the new National Education Policy (NEP) that strongly advocates increasing government expenditure on education.
