India, Feb. 5 -- The focus area of education in this year's budget under the theme of Aspirational India oriented towards three key areas: Improving the quality of education, promoting digital learning and skill development to address high unemployment rate. The Finance Minister (FM) was expected to announce revolutionary measure in building the new digital education ecosystem to promote futuristic skills and combat high unemployment rate but no major announcements of schemes/policies were made regarding the same. The announcement of New Education Policy" was much needed move considering pathetic state of education system but pathway towards implementation is still a long way to go.
