“We expect this year’s budget to focus on reducing the digital divide, which has kept many students from accessing education during the pandemic. The fast emergence of schools, colleges, and multi-disciplinary academic centres offering online K-12 education and vocational training in India’s Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities continues to draw solid numbers of students from tier 2 and tier 3 states. In 2023, we hope the government continues to support the penetration of innovative tech while inducing increased capital to develop better infrastructure, internet connectivity, access to modern devices, ensuring last-mile delivery, and quality guidance to the underserved who have been left behind owing to the digital divide. Last year, the government slashed its allocation towards education by 6% to increase fund allocation towards healthcare and other emergency services. However, we expect an increase this year to facilitate a better and equitable digital learning environment across states.”
