Budget Commentary by Nikhil Sinha

“The focus on learning outcomes and a new innovation fund are good initiatives to improve school education, but it would have been nice to see concrete steps to improve school infrastructure and teacher training, which are basic needs in the sector. In higher education, the Budget focuses on much needed and long overdue regulatory reforms with a promise of changes in the UGC, a revised framework for output based accreditation and greater autonomy for high quality institutions. It’s also encouraging to see the continued expansion of SWAYAM.

But online education is an important component of the country’s ability to expand higher education and SWAYAM alone won’t be the answer to making high quality education widely available. The Government also needs to reduce the regulatory hurdles for good quality private online education providers, both domestic and international. With the SANKALP and STRIVE programs, the Government continues its emphasis on skill development. However, skill development needs to go hand-in-hand with job creation and the Government needs to focus on increasing employment in the formal sector. Overall, the budget moves the education and skills sectors in the right direction but execution and the allocation of funds will, as always, determine whether we see real impact on the ground”
