In pre-Budget consultations with Finance Minister Arun Jaitley, they
demanded that the government address the gaps in the financial and
planning process that has led to consistent under spending in the
education sector.
"Enhance the allocation in education in line with the Kothari Commission and National Education Policy recommendations of 6 percent of GDP," said a representative of the Right to Education Forum after the meeting.
"Current allocations have hovered in the vicinity of 3.4 percent which falls far short of this national and international benchmark," he added.
"In accordance with the recommendation of CABE Committee, enhance the allocation of elementary education by 1 percent to accommodate the cumulative gap in education. The allocation to the elementary education should be Rs 73,807 crore," the representative said.
They also demanded that the government should eradicate discrimination in allocation made in education.
Besides, they added that disparities exist between different states, rural and urban areas and different types of schools within the education department.
