Pratham Barot says, “The much awaited union budget should direct its resources on implementation of NEP, building teacher capacities and augmenting health and hygiene at school levels. It should also focus on the implementation of edtech policies for all the students. While the education segment faced many challenges due to the Covid-19 pandemic, we look forward to the budget targeted to provide relief and support for this very important segment that plays a pivotal role in nation building.
“We further feel it is extremely important to focus on having a regulatory body for the sector in place. This would provide transparency and confidence to consumers and avoid having a monopoly of certain players in the sector,” he stated.
