“As the Union Budget approaches, we hope education continues to receive strong, future-focused support. Strengthening teaching quality, infrastructure, and innovation is vital to nurturing well-rounded learners. Greater investment in teacher training, digital upskilling, modern classrooms, and new K–12 schools can bridge the urban–rural divide and improve outcomes, especially in government schools. Early emphasis on STEM, skills-based learning, and technology integration will build future-ready competencies. Lower education loan interest rates and stronger international collaborations can further expand access, equity, and global engagement in India’s education ecosystem."

“As the education sector reaches a defining moment, we look to the Union Budget to convert policy vision into measurable outcomes. Priorities must include greater access, student upskilling, and stronger technological capacity, especially in rural and underserved regions. Skill-based education should align curricula with industry needs, while increasing women’s participation in STEM is vital for an inclusive workforce. Strengthening blended learning and revitalising public–private partnerships will enhance quality, access, and efficiency. This budget offers a crucial opportunity to build a future-ready, resilient education system."
