One of the key concerns is the declining share of the Union Budget allocated to the Ministry of Education, which has fallen from 4.6% in 2013-14 to 2.5% in 2025-26, raising questions about investment priorities in education. Since education is a subject under the Concurrent List of the Indian Constitution, both the Union and State Governments share responsibility for policymaking and implementation. This makes coordination between the Centre and States crucial for improving educational outcomes across the country. In this video, we examine the major structural issues affecting India's education sector, including disparities in Gross Enrolment Ratio (GER) across states, governance challenges, regional inequalities, learning quality, and the reforms introduced through the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. We also discuss why these developments are important for UPSC Prelims and GS Paper II (Governance, Education & Social Justice). ************************************************************************** 𝐋𝐢𝐧𝐤𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐓𝐮𝐛𝐞 Important 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐲𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐬- 1.
