EDUCATION
(Article covered - From Blackboard to Digital Board)
MAJOR INITIATIVES
While the total budget of the National Education Mission is up from Rs. 28, 255 crores last year to Rs. 31,212 crores-an increase of Rs.3000 crores-it does not seem adequate for the ambitious plans declared in the budget speech. For instance, digitalizing education in the classroom through Operation Digital Board would require a massive upgrade of basic infrastructure before it can be enabled, as currently only 62 per cent of all schools have an electricity connection, only 24 per cent have functional computers and only 9 per cent have an electricity connection and a functional computer (DISE, 2015-16).
CRITICISM OF BUDGET RELATED TO EDUCATION
Unfortunately, the holistic approach is not reflected in the budget document in any form. For instance, allocations for SSA and RMSA as well as teacher education continue to be separate. For SSA they have increased marginally from 23,500 crores last year to Rs. 26,128 crores this year and for RMSA from Rs. 3915 crores (RE) to Rs. 4213 crores.
