    Budgeting for School Education: What Has Changed and What Has Not?
    (CRY - Child Rights & You, 2018) Kundu, Protiva;
    There has been a shift over the last decade in the narrative on school education policy in India with regard to the evaluation of quality of education. Previously, conventional wisdom judged quality mainly in terms of inputs and outputs. Inputs refer to institutions, resources and spending while outputs refer to products and services delivered. In more recent years, the focus has moved toward learning outcomes, with an emphasis on children acquiring reading, writing and numerical skills.

    HOW HAVE STATES DESIGNED THEIR SCHOOL EDUCATION BUDGETS?
    (CRY - Child Rights & You, 2016) Kundu, Protiva; Singh, Gaurav
    Around 68 years ago, India began its journey towards the goal of universal and free basic education. The Union Government initiated a number of programmes to achieve the goal of Universalisation of Elementary Education, the most signifi cant of which is the SSA, launched in 2001. Legislative response fi nally came through the Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education (RTE) Act, 2009, which came into force on April 1, 2010, to provide free and compulsory education to children in the age group of 6-14 years in a neighbourhood school. In spite of these Government interventions, the story of India’s educational achievements is one of limited success.

    For the last 15 years, allocation to the child budget has remained stagnant at around 3% of the union budget. This analysis points out why this amount is proving completely inadequate in safeguarding the health, nutrition, education and protection of India’s 434 million children.

    Public Financing of School Education in India
    (CRY - Child Rights & You, 2016) Kundu, Protiva; Rout, Surajita
    In the Constitution of India, education appears in the concurrent list; accordingly, provisioning of resources for the same is a shared responsibility of the Union and State Governments. Public financing of education, to a large extent, depends on the policy and budgetary priorities for education. In order to assess the adequacy of the prevailing quantum of public financing for the sector, it is useful to have a rough estimate of how much the government should spend on financing quality education, taking into account the existing policy framework for public provisioning of education.
