2
Ranchi: The Jharkhand Education Project Council on Tuesday launched a state-wide campaign titled 'Mera Vidyalaya NIPUN and Main Bhi NIPUN' to enhance foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) outcomes among students in primary classes.
The campaign targets around eight lakh students enrolled in Classes I to III across 35,000 govt schools in the state.
In the first phase of the campaign, 1,056 schools were assessed from July 21 to 26. Master trainers (MTs) and resource persons carried out the evaluations using a dedicated online app, utilising school-provided tablets or personal smartphones. From August to December, the MTs conducted evaluations and certifications across their respective blocks and districts.
Initial assessments began with schools that have at least two teachers, while single-teacher schools will be included later to allow them more time to prepare. Monthly data collection and reporting will be carried out at the district level to track progress.
State programme officer for quality education, Abhinav Kumar, said, "The strategy for this campaign has been developed as a continuation of the NIPUN Bharat Mission and is focused on improving the learning outcomes in foundational grades."
The campaign's objectives included structured efforts on various FLN components, evaluation of schools, assessment of progress in student learning, and recognition of high-performing schools and students.

JEPC implements bridge course to reintegrate dropout students
1 2 Ranchi: The Jharkhand Education Project Council (JEPC) has implemented a structured bridge course programme across the state aimed at reintegrating children who dropped out of school or were never enrolled. The bridge course curriculum has been designed and divided into two parts — Part I for Classes I to V and Part II for Classes VI to VIII, based on the academic stage at which the child is being re-enrolled. The state project director at JEPC Shashi Ranjan said, "The initiative is part of the efforts to ensure access to education under the Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan and is focused on bridging the academic gaps in children's learning journey." So far, around 59,000 children have been brought back into the education system through the 'Back to School' campaign. To support this reintegration, the bridge course is being implemented with the help of trained teachers and resource persons, who will conduct special remedial classes and assessments for the enrolled children. As per the Shishu Panji survey, 43,250 were from Classes I to VIII, and 15,844 were from secondary levels. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch CFD với công nghệ và tốc độ tốt hơn IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The count included 24,649 dropouts and 18,601 children who were never enrolled.

" JEPC has also begun the development of special training modules tailored for out-of-school children. To facilitate this, a four-day residential workshop was organised in the first phase from June 23 to June 26.

NIPUN Bharat mission introduces reward system to improve foundational learning
1 2 3 Prayagraj: In a significant push to improve foundational literacy and numeracy among young learners, the NIPUN Bharat Mission is being implemented with renewed vigour in the basic schools of Prayagraj. As part of this initiative, the education department has introduced a reward-based system to motivate teachers and schools to achieve defined learning outcomes. Teachers who successfully meet the NIPUN goals—set for students from Bal Vatika (pre-primary) to Class 2—within the given timeline will be honoured with the title of 'NIPUN Champion Head Master of the District'. The state has set a target to select 400 such exemplary teachers from across Uttar Pradesh. These selected teachers will not only receive a cash reward of Rs 25,000 but will also be offered educational tours to different states, helping them gain broader exposure and enhance their teaching skills. In addition, they will be provided with specialised training modules to further develop their professional competencies. According to Debvart Singh, the in-charge Basic Shiksha Adhikari, once students enrolled in a school attain the expected competencies as per the NIPUN goals, the headmaster, in consultation with other teachers, will register the school for evaluation on the Prerna Portal. This step will be followed by detailed instructions issued by the state project director of 'Samagra Shiksha'. The evaluation process will be carried out under guidance of DIET (District Institute of Education and Training) principals, assisted by Academic Resource Persons (ARPs) and DIET mentors from other development blocks. Critical data, such as student enrolment from Unified District Information System for Education (UDISE) and attendance records from Prerna Portal's digital registers, will be used in the assessment process. Once the DIET principal confirms the school's status as 'NIPUN', a 100% student evaluation will be conducted by DElEd trainees under the supervision of the State Project Office and SCERT (State Council of Educational Research and Training). The assessment will utilise transparent IT-enabled systems to ensure accuracy and fairness. This rigorous and structured approach is expected to not only uplift educational standards but also inspire a culture of performance, recognition, and continuous improvement in primary education across Prayagraj and beyond.
