In the 5th anniversary year of the National Education Policy 2020, the NIPUN Bharat Mission, which was launched a year later- with its emphasis on foundational learning for all children in Grades 1-3 was adopted by many states in the form of their own programmes. Uttar Pradesh was one of the early adopters of an FLN programme across more than 1.1 lakh FLN-grade schools. UP is currently achieving 68% proficiency in Language and 64% proficiency in Math as part of its FLN programme.
Starting with today’s episode, on the occasion of Teachers' Day, The Indian Express in association with Central Square Foundation brings to you a five part series, where we will discuss the importance of Foundational Literacy with experts of the field.
And to learn how UP reached where it is today, we are joined by Vinod Karate, Sr. Project Director, FLN Reforms, CSF and Vaibhav Limaye, who has been embedded with the Samagra Shiksha department in Lucknow, to understand how the change is taking shape.
