The major features and interventions of Samagra Shiksha includes universalizing access to quality school education by expansion of schooling facilities in the uncovered areas through up-gradation of schools from pre-primary up-to senior secondary level.
The Department of School Education and Literacy, Ministry of Education, Government of India has launched the National Mission on Foundational Literacy and Numeracy called National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading with Understanding and Numeracy (NIPUN Bharat) on 5th July 2021 under the aegis of Samagra Shiksha. The mission aims to achieve universal foundational literacy and numeracy in primary classes and to ensure that all children attain grade level competencies in reading, writing and numeracy. The Mission lays down priorities and actionable agendas for States/UTs to achieve the goal of proficiency in foundational literacy and numeracy for every child by grade 3. The guidelines for implementation of the NIPUN Bharat mission has been uploaded on the Department’s website under the link mentioned below: https://dsel.education.gov.in/sites/default/files/NIPUN_BHARAT_GUIDELINES_EN.pdf
In order to ensure that children have access to education with quality and equity, the Department of School Education has prepared and issued detailed guidelines on 7th January, 2021, on the steps to be taken by the States and UTs. The link of the guidelines is https://www.education.gov.in/sites/upload_files/mhrd/files/ guidelines_oosc.pdf. The guidelines, among others, include identification of out of school children from age 6-18 years through door to door survey, enrolment drives and awareness generation, continued Education for children with Special Needs (CWSN) etc. This Department has also developed an online module for compiling the data of Out of School Children (OoSC) identified by each State/UT and their mapping with Special Training Centres (STC) on the PRABANDH Portal. The concerned State/UT validates the child wise information of the identified OoSC and STC uploaded by the concerned Block Resource Centre of the State for monitoring the progress of mainstreaming of OoSC. Further, to bridge the learning gaps and to ensure continuity of education, this Department has shared a comprehensive Learning Recovery Plan with all the states and Union Territories on 01.02.2022 describing the actions/ activities to be undertaken by all the stakeholders, indicative annual calendar of activities, existing interventions which can be utilized and additional support with funds as one time measure. The link for the same is https://www.education.gov.in/sites/upload_files/mhrd/files/lpr_2023.pdf.
(c) : In 2021-22, the National Initiative for School Heads and Teachers for Holistic Advancement (NISHTHA), a National Mission to improve learning outcomes at the Elementary level through an Integrated Teacher Training Programme, has been extended to Foundational Literacy and Numeracy and secondary level.
NISHTHA 2.0 (Secondary Level) –online on DIKSHA for secondary level teachers was launched on 29th July, 2021. NCERT has developed a package including 12 Generic modules and 56 subject specific modules for NISHTHA 2.0.
