Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) – Capacity Building Training Programme for District Resource Persons (DRPs) for Classes 1–2 at Regional Level

Order / Proceedings

The attention of the Regional Joint Directors, District Educational Officers and Additional Project Coordinators in the state is invited to the references read above. Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) is the most critical stage in a child’s learning journey, forming the basis for all future learning outcomes. The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and NIPUN Bharat Mission emphasize that every child should attain foundational literacy and numeracy skills by the end of Grade 3. Strengthening classroom transaction, activity-based pedagogy, child-centered learning practices, competency-based assessments, and effective remedial support at the primary level has become a priority of the School Education Department.

The primary school teacher plays a pivotal role in ensuring that children develop reading comprehension, writing abilities, basic mathematical understanding, and conceptual clarity. Therefore, the Department has decided to conduct intensive residential training programmes for identified District Resource Persons (DRPs), who will further train ground level teachers handling classes 1–2 in cascade mode at Divisional/Constituency Level.

In view of the Bakrid Holiday on 28.05.2026, the DRP training has been rescheduled. The revised schedule shall be followed as below:

📢 Instructions to Officials (RJDSEs, DEOs & Additional Project Coordinators)

• 1. Relieve the identified KRPs/DRPs well in advance to enable them to attend the training programme on the scheduled dates.
• 2. Ensure that the deputed participants attend the entire duration of the training without interruption.
• 3. Instruct the participants to report at the venue on the evening prior to commencement of the training or as per reporting instructions communicated by organizers.
• 4. Ensure that no academic or administrative duties are assigned to the identified participants during the training period.
• 5. Extend necessary coordination and support for smooth conduct of the training programme.
• 6. Ensure strict compliance with the training schedule and maintain proper communication with the State and District teams.
• 7. Instruct the participants to actively participate in all academic sessions, practical demonstrations, group activities and assessments during the training.

The District Educational Officers and Additional Project Coordinators shall closely monitor the participation of the DRPs from their respective districts and ensure 100% attendance during the training period. Any deviation in relieving the participants or delay will be viewed seriously, as the programme is of utmost academic importance for strengthening FLN implementation across the State.
