O R D E R:

All the District Educational Ofcers and Additional Project Coordinators of

Samagra Shiksha in the State are informed that the State government is
prioritizing foundational literacy and numeracy as part of aligning with the
National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 and other key frameworks. This focus on
early childhood care and education (ECCE) is crucial for ensuring that children
develop essential skills at a young age.

In this context a comprehensive initiative aimed at enhancing the skills of

Grade 1 and 2 teachers through a structured 60-day certificate course. This
collaboration between the Department of School Education, Samagra Shiksha,
and ASER (Pratham) emphasizes a blended learning approach, combining both
offline and online training methods. This fexibility can help accommodate various
teaching environments and learning styles, ultimately aiming to improve the
quality of education in early grades over the course of three years.

Accordingly, a comprehensive training initiative is take-up by the

department for enhancing the teaching skills among the secondary teachers.
The 60-day certificate course (Gnana Prakash) for Key Resource Persons (KRPs)
has been successfully implemented, along with the second layer of DRP trainings.
Now, the focus shifts to providing ground-level training for 34,000 SGTs at the
district level. This will take place over six days in a residential mode, organized
into 14 spells starting from October 21, 2024, and concluding by February 1,
2025.

The total number of Secondary Grade Teachers (SGTs) to be trained

across all districts of the state is tabulated below.
