Expressing concern over the quality of education, Union Minister for Finance and Corporate Affairs Arun Jaitley said today that education will be treated in a holistic manner from pre-nursery to Class XII.
Presenting the General Budget 2018-19 in Parliament today, the Finance Minister expressed the government’s resolve to increase the digital intensity in education.
“The government proposes to gradually move away from ‘black board’ to ‘digital board’," he said. The Finance Minister underlined that a district-wise strategy for improving the quality of education is also being prepared.
Emphasising the need to step up investment in research and related infrastructure in leading educational institutions, he announced the proposal to launch a major initiative named “Revitalising Infrastructure and Systems in Education (RISE)”.
Jaitley said that over the next four years, a total of Rs 1, 00, 000 crore will be invested in the initiative.
