The government has also launched several schemes and initiatives aimed at promoting education in the country, such as the Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), the Mid-Day Meal Scheme, and the Digital India initiative.

Ease of Doing Business for the education sector will have an impact

Ease of Doing Business in the Education Sector: The government has been focusing on improving the ease of doing business in various sectors, including education. This can be achieved through measures such as reducing red tape, streamlining regulations, and providing tax incentives. Such measures will attract more investment and entrepreneurship in the education sector, leading to an increase in the number of educational institutions and job opportunities.

Impact: Improving the ease of doing business in the education sector will have a significant impact on the growth of the sector. It will lead to an increase in the number of private institutions and increase competition, which can result in better-quality education. It will also increase the availability of education in remote and underserved areas, leading to increased access to education and reducing the gap between urban and rural education.

Improvements in the ease of doing business in the education sector will also result in the creation of new jobs, both in the private and public sectors. This will help in boosting the overall economic growth and development of the country.

Change in the GST rate or relaxation of norms

GST is a comprehensive indirect tax levied on the supply of goods and services in India. The GST rate for the education sector is currently set at 18%. A measure aimed at promoting the education sector and making education more affordable for the general public. A lower GST rate can help in reducing the cost of education and increase access to education, especially for underprivileged sections of society.

Relaxation of norms for the education sector can also be considered by the government, to promote entrepreneurship and investment in the sector. This can include measures such as reducing compliance costs, simplifying regulations, and providing tax incentives.

Changes in the GST rate or relaxation of norms for the education sector can have a significant impact on the growth of the sector. A lower GST rate and relaxed norms can help in reducing the cost of education, increasing access to education, and promoting entrepreneurship and investment in the sector.

Changes/ Developments in the NEP, push towards digital learning
