Slew of announcements to boost education sector: Experts – Times of India

Pune: The education budget for 2022 was allotted Rs. 1,04,278 crore — a rise of Rs. 11,054 crores from the previous year of 2021. Educationists and experts said that the surge was in the right direction.
R. M. Chitnis, Vice Chancellor, MIT-World Peace University, said that, “Various initiatives declared by the Government such as National Digital Library, Eklavya Model Schools, PM Kaushal Vikas Yojana, the inclusion of regional language books for non-curricular subjects, opening up the ICMR labs for collaborative research and innovation projects, the opening of Centres of Excellence utilising artificial intelligence tools for interdisciplinary research, new nursing colleges and 100 labs for developing educational apps and other such proactive measures will surely give a boost to the education sector.”
Experts said that, in line with the National Education Policy (NEP 2020), these initiatives will surely encourage reskilling and up-skilling with a greater impetus.
Chief executive officer of The Academy School, Pune, Maithili Tambe, said, “It is a welcome move that the government thought of the pandemic effect and loss of learning and reading during the time by introducing the National Digital Library for children in order to build a culture of reading. Promotion of non-curricular titles in regional languages will also foster reading in students. The budget has struck a fine balance as far as education and the societal strata go.”
Tambe further added that, in order to boost education among tribals, more than 38,000 teachers would be recruited, thus empowering not only the 3.5 lakh students but also the teaching fraternity with job opportunities. The teacher training move will only further benefit the education sector as a whole. At the same time, in order to keep pace with technological advances, centers of excellence for AI to enable ‘Make AI for India’ are also introduced. The initiative sums up a well-rounded education budget.
