Budget 2025: Will there be any special announcements for the education sector this time in Budget 2025?

Any government gives priority to education, skill development and employment in its budget. Some educational schemes already started by the government are making good progress. As Budget 2025 is approaching, it is interesting to know what will be allocated to the education sector in this budget.

There has been a continuous increase in the budget of the education sector in the last few years. Rs 121117.77 crore in 2024 and Rs 112899.47 crore in 2023. There is an allocation of Rs 73008 crore in 2024, Rs 68804.85 crore in 2023 and Rs 63449.37 crore in 2022 for school education. This time also the budget for the education sector is likely to increase.

Experts say that the upcoming Budget 2025 is an important opportunity to strengthen India’s education system. The government wants to focus especially on higher education. Making India a global knowledge hub requires investment in infrastructure, research and technology in higher education institutions. Innovation should be encouraged through more funding for skill development programmes, collaboration with industry and public-private partnerships. It can bridge the gap between education and employment.

The government hopes to bring reforms in the education sector. It has already brought the new National Education Policy-2020. The government wants to prepare Indian youth to compete at the global level in the future. For higher education Rs. PM Vidyalakshmi Yojana has been launched under the Union Budget 2024 to provide financial assistance for loans up to Rs 10 lakh. It is being told that this time another scheme is also likely to be started.

Experts are of the opinion that it would have been better if there had been more allocation for quality education and infrastructure in the budget. School and college facilities should be improved to make students comfortable. Existing structures need to be updated to modern standards. This includes upgrading classrooms with smart boards, high-speed internet connectivity and innovative teaching tools. It remains to be seen what special announcements will be made for the education sector in the 2025 budget.
