Abstract

The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 states that ‘The highest priority of the education system will be to achieve universal foundational literacy and numeracy in primary schools by 2025. The rest of this Policy will become relevant for our students only if this most basic learning requirement (i.e., reading, writing, and arithmetic at the foundational level) is first achieved’ (Para 2.2, NEP 2020). No statement can more firmly establish the criticality of foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) in ensuring that students can benefit from the education they receive. In turn, this education prepares them to participate in society as contributing, productive members.
