Do you think that the current level of education expenditure is adequate? Why?

Question

Accepted Answer

Yes, the current level of education expenditure is about 4 to 5% as per the desired level of about 6% of GDP. More than 40 years ago, the Education Commission had recommended that at least 6% of GDP be spent on education so as to make a noticeable rate of growth in educational achievements. However, the investment in education expenditure has not been uniform and is marked with regional and gender inequalities. India has also not been able to achieve the objective of providing free and compulsory education to all children in the age group of 6 to 14 years.
