• Coaching expenses at higher secondary level in urban areas: Rs 9,950.

Who spends the expenses of studies?

Previous survey and change

Earlier in the year 2017-18, the 75th round of NSS was done on education but according to the officials of the Ministry of Education, its results cannot be compared directly to the current survey. The reason is that then Anganwadi centers were not placed in the category of pre-primary education and the expenses on coaching were also added to education, while CMS survey included the Anganwadi education and coaching expenses Counting in the category.

Total expenditure on education

It was also revealed in the survey that in all types of schools, the highest expenditure per student in this educational year was spent on course fees (Rs 7,111), after which Rs 2,002 was spent on books and stationery.
