India’s Ministry of Education launched the National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading with Understanding and Numeracy (NIPUN), on 5th July 2021, under ex-Union Minister for Education Ramesh Pokhriyal ‘Nishank’. The objective of NIPUN Bharat Mission is to create an enabling environment to ensure the universal achievement of foundational literacy and numeracy so that every child achieves the desired learning competencies in reading, writing, and numeracy by the end of Grade 3, by 2026-27.
Expected Outcomes of the program:
1)- Foundational skills allow keeping children in class thereby reducing the number of dropouts and improving the transition rate from primary to upper primary and secondary stages.
2)- Activity-based learning and a favorable learning environment will improve the quality of learning among students.
3)- Innovative pedagogies (methods of learning), such as toy-based and experiential learning will be used in classroom interactions thereby making studying a joyful and engaging activity.
4)- Intensive capacity building of teachers will make them empowered and provide greater liberty for choosing the pedagogy.
5)- Holistic development of the child by focusing on different domains of development like physical and motor development, socio-emotional development, literacy and numeracy development, cognitive development, life skills, etc. which are interrelated and interdependent.
6)- Children will be able to achieve a sharper learning trajectory which may have positive impacts on later life outcomes and employment.
7)- Since almost every child attends early grades, therefore, focus at that stage will also benefit the socio-economic disadvantageous group thus ensuring access to equitable and inclusive quality education.
