The 2024 Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) showed that reading & arithmetic levels for Class 3 students in govt schools in rural India have improved over pre-pandemic levels.
Allocation for school education went up to 68,805 cr from last budget's Rs 63,449.37 cr. Substantial increase in funds for training teachers & grants-in-aid to state govts & UTs.
We now live in a world order that will keep shifting. India must use this window. This also means we remain disciplined enough not to be knee-jerked into reacting to what Pakistan sees as its moment in the sun.
