Karnataka Budget 2026-27: Raise education allocation to 15%, say educationists
Experts are urging the government to increase the allocation for the education sector to at least 15 per cent of the total state budget, drawing comparisons with states such as Himachal Pradesh and Kerala.
“Last year education received about 11.2 per cent of the total budget… That should be our benchmark. Education is a priority sector and deserves a minimum of 15 per cent allocation,” said Educationist Niranjanaradhya V P.
They argue that without a substantial increase, structural issues such as faculty shortages and rising dropout rates will persist.
