As we've seen, 2024 has been a year marked by transformation in the education industry in a number of areas, such as assessments, higher education, student mobility, skill development, and technology integration. By offering trained executive education programs that include cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and data science, professionals' interest is expanding and future-ready views are being fostered. Students will be better equipped to remain ahead in a changing job market thanks to the integration of AI-focused programs across disciplines, such as data science and marketing. Let's see what the Union Budget has in store for the education sector considering the Indian Student Mobility Report 2024 which says that more than 1.5 million Indian students will study overseas by 2025.

Union Budget 2025-26: Bridging the Education Gap with Investments in Digital Infrastructure, AI, and STEM Education
"We believe that the Union Budget 2025-26 can play a key role in addressing gaps in the education sector. While the FY 2024-25 allocation of ₹73,498 crore for School Education was a positive move, there are still significant gaps, especially in rural and semi-urban areas, where access to high-speed internet, digital devices, and smart classrooms is still limited. We urge the government to dedicate funds to improve infrastructure, like high-speed internet and digital tools, in schools. It is very important to invest in teacher training programs that focus on new technologies like AI, coding, and robotics. This will help educators adapt to the future needs of students," said Mr. Rajeev Tiwari and Mr. Anurag Gupta, Co-Founders of STEMROBO Technologies.
Future-Proofing Education: How AI and Robotics Labs Are Shaping Young Innovators
Investments in AI, STEM, and robotics labs in schools will support hands-on learning and innovation. Investing in STEM education will equip students with the skills they need for future jobs, encouraging problem-solving and creativity. This is a key step in achieving the goals of the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020, especially the inclusion of AI, coding, and robotics in the curriculum, as per Mr. Rajeev Tiwari and Mr. Anurag Gupta, Co-Founders of STEMROBO Technologies.
Union Budget 2025-26: Addressing Enrolment Decline Through Financial Support and Innovation
The drop in student enrolment by 37 lakh shows the need for more support for underprivileged students. We suggest offering more scholarships to help students from disadvantaged backgrounds access education. Providing financial support will help ensure that students from all communities have equal access to opportunities., can help increase enrolment and participation, commented Mr. Rajeev Tiwari and Mr. Anurag Gupta.
We urge the government to support Ed-Tech companies that offer affordable, AI-based, and adaptive learning tools for underserved areas. More funding for research in AI, robotics, and IoT can help drive new ideas and innovation, they added.
