How poorly Indian states are spending on schools – a new study throws startling numbers
Researchers
at the National Institute of Public Finance and Policy in Delhi have analysed
the budgets of 12 states alongside public data on student enrollment and teacher
salaries to estimate what it would take for the states to meet minimum
standards on education. They have computed the required human and physical
resources such as classrooms and teachers, how much more states will have to
spend in absolute terms to get them, and what proportion of the gross state
domestic product it would represent.
The
working paper, Resource
requirements for Right to Education (RTE): Normative and Real, by
Sukanya Bose, Priyanta Ghosh and Arvind Sardana, covers a dozen states: Bihar,
Chhattisgarh, Jharkhand, Karnataka, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra, Odisha,
Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Uttar Pradesh, Uttarakhand and Delhi.
