ITANAGAR, Jun 30: Commissioner Education today reviewed the School Readiness Program that has been launched in 1578 primary schools of the state on June 15 last, immediately after reopening the schools for the new academic session (2022-23). The program aims to identify the learning gaps of the students in a playful manner and bridge those gaps to improve their learning outcomes and make them ready for their respective classes. The six weeks’ program will go till July 30.
School Readiness Program is being undertaken by the SCERT, Department of Education in partnership with NITI Aayog and its knowledge partner “Reach to Teach Foundation."  It began with the training of head teachers and other system officials for the effective implementation of the programme. It will support one lakh primary grade students to engage meaningfully with peers and teachers and take part in classroom learning processes. 
Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) intervention is not only important but also necessary for the comprehension of other subjects and later learning. The Covid pandemic has given rise to learning loss among the students as they have stayed out of school for a considerable period and has also diluted the intensity of Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN). It is now urgent to address this aspect so that children can overcome learning loss, the department said in a statement.
The School Readiness Programme makes teachers connect with students through activity-based teaching-learning materials. The learning resources/Activity packs for the programmes are being made available to the teachers on time through 26 Whats App groups created for all 26 districts with Head Teachers and their respective DDSEs, DPCs, Cluster and Block level Education officers and Principal DIETs.
