Abstract
The National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 of India prioritizes foundational literacy and numeracy (FLN) in school education. This focus on reading, writing, and numeracy as the educational foundation has long been a recognized goal both nationally and globally. A national mission addressing FLN emphasizes its importance, aiming for all students to achieve proficiency by Grade 3. This mission is the top priority in the National Council for Educational Research and Training (NCERT) strategic plan for 2020–2025. The FLN objective encompasses skill attainment and its impact on learning outcomes and dropout rates, allowing for a flexible evaluation approach. Extensive evidence supports this mission, linking FLN skills to educational success and variations influencing learning quality. (Black & Yasukawa, 2010)(Wildschut et al., 2016)
