Which of the following percentage figures was recommended by both the Kothari Commission and the National Policy (1986) as the amount that should be spent on education?

Both the Kothari Commission and the 1986 National Policy recommended spending 6% of GDP on education.

A figure of 4% of GDP understates this long-standing target.

A figure of 5% of GDP also falls short of the recommended level.

A blanket denial does not apply because a definite percentage is on record.

Actual public spending has generally stayed below this 6% goal.

NEP 2020 reaffirmed the same 6%-of-GDP commitment.
