Chandigarh, April 15
A video conference was organised under the chairmanship of Principal Secretary, School Education Department, Vijay Singh Dahiya, during which the materials for the ‘Kaksha Tatparta Karyakram’ (Class Readiness Programme) were formally released. The conference was attended by all District Education Officers, District Elementary Education Officers, District Project Coordinators, and Block Education Officers from across the state.
Sh. Vijay Singh Dahiya stated that various academic materials developed under the ‘Kaksha Tatparta Karyakram’ have been released. These include subject-wise timetables for teachers, activity books for students and an effective monitoring tool to systematically track progress over 45 days. The program will be conducted during April and May with the objective of preparing students academically for the new class and strengthening their foundational competencies. Approximately over 8 lakh students across the state will benefit from this initiative, which will be effectively implemented through around 31,000 teachers.
He further said that under the National Education Policy 2020, strengthening Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) is one of the top priorities of the education system. The NIPUN Bharat Mission is a strong initiative in this direction, aimed at ensuring that children achieve grade-level proficiency in the early classes.
He added that under the leadership of Chief Minister Nayab Singh Saini, continuous and effective efforts are being made to implement the National Education Policy 2020 at the ground level in the state, making Haryana a model for other states in several aspects. Additionally, under the guidance of Education Minister Mahipal Dhanda, sustained efforts are being made for the holistic development of children, with positive results already visible.
Referring to various assessment reports, he said that the educational status of the state is very strong and Haryana ranks third in the country under NIPUN. In this context, this 45-day programme is highly significant. Its objective is to bridge learning gaps among students and bring them up to grade-level proficiency.
He called upon all teachers to focus on each child individually and ensure that no child is left behind. He also emphasized that no matter how advanced technology becomes, the role of the teacher will always remain central and crucial.
During the meeting, the enrollment campaign under ‘Pravesh Utsav’ was also reviewed, and directions were issued to ensure ‘zero dropout’ across the state so that no child remains out of school. On this occasion, Director, Elementary Education, Smt. Manita Malik, and State Project Director, Smt. Varsha Khangwal, also addressed the gathering.
