We launched a Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) intervention in 2022 to improve the basic literacy and numeracy of children in our areas of operation. We identified several gaps in teaching material, knowledge, pedagogy, and human resources in consultation with government teachers of grades 1 to 5. Educated volunteers from the local community were recruited and trained and are aiding the government teachers in implementing the foundational learning content through innovative pedagogies. We also provided teaching learning material to government schools.
The FLN intervention runs in government schools in grades 1 to 3 in 19 blocks of Odisha and grades 1 to 5 in all 18 blocks of West Singhbhum district, Jharkhand.
Currently, FLN is running in 4,595 government schools with the help of 3,929 volunteers.
