India's education sector to grow 11-13%

India's education sector to grow 11-13%

Indian schools and colleges are expected to make more money in the next two years, with a growth of 11 to 13 percent.

This is because more students are enrolling and fees are increasing.

The report says that the money spent on teachers and buildings will go up, but the overall profit will stay the same.

Schools for younger kids (K-12) will grow a bit slower than colleges, especially those teaching engineering.

The report also says that these institutions won't need to borrow much money because they have enough cash.

However, education experts are urging the government to focus more on improving the quality of education, building better infrastructure like labs and hostels, and teaching skills that will be useful in the future, such as digital and multilingual education.

They want the government to spend more on these areas in the upcoming budget to prepare students for a knowledge-driven economy.
