FOUNDATIONAL LANGUAGE AND LITERACY

 The highest priority of school education will be “Universal acquisition of Foundational learning skills by Grade 3”

FOUNDATIONAL LANGUAGE AND LITERACY 

The pre-existing knowledge of language helps in building literacy skills in languages. The key components in Foundational Language and Literacy are:

Oral Language Development Includes improved listening comprehension; oral vocabulary and extended conversation skills. The experiences in oral language are important for developing skills of reading and writing. 

Decoding Involves deciphering written words based on understanding the relationship between symbols and their sounds Reading Fluency Refers to the ability to read a text with accuracy, speed (automaticity), expression (prosody), and comprehension that allows children to make meaning from the text. Many children recognize aksharas, but read them laboriously, one by one. 

Reading Comprehension Involves constructing meaning from a text and thinking critically about it. This domain covers the competencies of understanding texts and retrieving information from them, as well as interpreting texts. 

Writing This domain includes the competencies of writing aksharas and words as well as writing for expression

'School Evaluation' as the means and 'School Improvement' as the goal

The need for effective schools and improving school performance is increasingly felt in the Indian education system to provide quality education for all children. The quality initiatives in school education sector, thus, necessitate focusing on school, its performance and improvement. In a major step towards comprehensive school evaluation as central to improving quality of school education in India, National Programme on School Standards and Evaluation has been initiated by National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA), under the aegis of Union Ministry of Human Resource Development.

NPSSE visualizes ‘School Evaluation’ as the means and ‘School Improvement’ as the goal. It refers to evaluating the individual school and its performance in a holistic and continuous manner leading to school improvement in an incremental manner. The major objectives of NPSSE are to develop a technically sound conceptual framework, methodology, instrument, and process of school evaluation to suit the diversity of Indian schools; to develop a critical mass of human resource for adaptation and contextualization of the school evaluation framework and practices across states.

The programme envisions reaching 1.5 million schools in the country through a comprehensive system of school evaluation. As part of this endeavour, the School Standards and Evaluation Framework (SSEF) has been developed as an instrument for evaluating school performance. This will enable the school to evaluate its performance against the well-defined criteria in a focused and strategic manner. The SSEF comprises seven ‘Key Domains’ as the significant criteria for evaluating performance of schools. The ‘Framework’ has been developed through a participatory and mutual consensus approach on 'How to evaluate diversified Indian schools for Incremental Improvement’. The SSEF has the flexibility that makes it eminently suitable for adaptation, contextualization and translation in state-specific languages. It has been designed as a strategic instrument for both self and external evaluation. Both the evaluation processes are complementary to each other and ensure that the two approaches work in synergy for the improvement of the school as a whole.

As part of the SSEF, a ‘School Evaluation Dashboard e-Samiksha’ has been developed to facilitate each school to provide consolidated evaluation report, including areas prioritized for improvement. The School Evaluation Dashboard is developed both in print and digitized format.

The School Evaluation Dashboard, obtained from each school, will be consolidated at cluster, block, district, state and national level for identifying school-specific needs and common areas of intervention to improve school performance. A web-portal and Mobile App on School Standards and Evaluation are in the process of development.

In order to translate the objectives of NPSSE to institutionalize ‘School Evaluation for Improvement’, a strong operational plan has been formulated to extend support to each state. A dedicated Unit at NIEPA is leading this programme under the guidance of National Technical Group (NTG) and in strong collaboration with the states.

National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA)

 The National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA), (Deemed to be University) established by the erstwhile Ministry of Human Resource Development(now Ministry of Education), Government of India, is a premier organization dealing with capacity building and research in planning and management of education not only in India but also in South Asia.


In recognition of the pioneering work done by the organization in the field of educational planning and administration, the Government of India have empowered it to award its own degrees by way of conferring it the status of Deemed to be University in August, 2006. Like any Central University, NIEPA is fully maintained by the Government of India.

The National Institute has its origin dating back to 1962 when the UNESCO established the Asian Regional Centre for Educational Planners and Administrators which later became the Asian Institute of Educational Planning and Administration in 1965. After 4 years of its existence, it was taken over by the Government of India and renamed as the National Staff College for Educational Planners and Administrators. Subsequently, with the increased roles and functions of the National Staff College, particularly in capacity building, research and professional support services to governments, it was again renamed as the National Institute of Educational Planning and Administration (NIEPA) in 1979.

NIEPA offers a widely acclaimed International Diploma in Educational Planning and Administration (IDEPA) for the senior educational policy makers, planners and administrators annually to international participants. IDEPA was started in the year 1985 as a sequel to the recommendations of the sub-regional meeting for Asian countries organised by the Indian National Commission for Cooperation with UNESCO in 1983. The National Institute has successfully completed as many as twenty-eight such IDEPA Programmes, one in each successive year. Over the years, participation in terms of the number of countries and participants has increased considerably.

Until now, a total of 953 trainees from 93 countries of Africa, Eastern Europe, Central Asia, West Asia, South and South-East Asia, Latin America and Pacific regions have participated in the Programme.


Aim: IDEPA endeavours to promote the spirit of regional cooperation, international understanding and goodwill through the exchange of experiences on subject matter and issues important to the development of human resources. With this mission, it aims at augmenting capabilities and competencies in educational planning and administration.


Objectives:The International Diploma Programme has gained its uniqueness over the years by continually updating of its objectives and course structures in order to keep pace with the changing scenario. The Programme in general strives to understand educational developments in developing countries with particular reference to policy, planning and management, especially on quality and equity issues relating to school, vocational and higher education.


IDEPA encompasses the principles, concepts and techniques of educational planning, supervision, administration, management and leadership for fulfilling the national goals and meeting local requirements of various countries. In this regard, it tries to develop skills of analysis, statistical interpretation, forecasting, and project preparation for macro and micro level educational planning, on the one hand, and effective managerial leadership skills in educational administration, project management and programme implementation on the other.


Nominations will be sought shortly from international participants for 2024 IDEPA that is scheduled from February to July 2024 as a six-month programme.

राष्ट्रीय_पक्षी_दिवस


आज राष्ट्रीय पक्षी दिवस है । पक्षी मनुष्य के सह जीवन के सबसे बड़े सहयोगी है । पक्षी ही हमे सब सिखाते हैं । बचपन में घर की मुँडेर पर कौआ बोलने पर मेहमान आते थे । घर में भोजन तैयार होने पर तोता और गोरैया का कलरव शुरू हो जाता था । पके खजूर के पेड़ के नीचे आस लगाकर थोड़ी देर खड़े रहने पर बुलबुल निराश नहीं करती थी । आम को पकाने में हमसे कोयल आगे रहती थी । जामफल के पेड़ पर तोते  उड़ते देख हम उस पर पके फल ढूँढ लेते थे । मैना और गलगल के कोलाहल से ध्यान आ जाता कि उधर साँप या कोई खतरा हैं । गौरैया का धूल में नहाने व पपीहा का रात में बोलने का अर्थ था एक दो दिन में वर्षा होगी । वर्षा ऋतु में आसमान पर बादलों के छाए रहने पर पक्षियों के झुण्ड के झुण्ड  उड़ते देख बिना घड़ी के समझ आ जाता कि शाम हो गई है, दोस्तों से कहते जल्दी घर चलो वरना डाँट पड़ेगी । चील आसमान में मंडराती देख समझ जाते कि कोई पशु मरने वाला है । घर की कवेलू वाली छत पर मोरनी अण्डे दे जाती । गौरेया का तो पूरे घर में अधिकार था । सुबह का जागरण पक्षियों की चहचहाटों से ही होता और शाम कलरव से । 

हर दिवस पक्षी दिवस था । मेरे लिए तो आज भी कुछ नहीं बदला है । सब वैसा का वैसा ही है । हाँ इतनी समझ बढ़ गई कि बिना पक्षी के मानव जीवन सम्भव नहीं हैं । उन्हें मारकर अपना पेट भरने से नहीं अपितु पक्षियों का पेट भरने से जीव संतुलन रहेगा ।

भारत सहित विश्व में पक्षियों की अनगिनत प्रजातियां हैं । पक्षी विशेषज्ञों ने उनका वर्गीकरण किया है । ये रंग-बिरंगे पक्षी हमारी धरती और पर्यावरण का श्रृंगार हैं । बिना पक्षियों का वर्णन किये श्रृंगार लिखा ही नहीं जा सकता । पूरा हिन्दी साहित्य पक्षियों की उपमाओं से अलंकृत है । 

पक्षी और पेड़-पौधे एक-दूसरे के पूरक है । हमसे कई गुना ज्यादा फलों का बीजारोपण पक्षी करते हैं । जंगलों को घना बनाने में सर्वाधिक योगदान पक्षियों का ही है । वे फलों के बीज स्थान्तरण का काम करते हैं । साथ ही पक्षी प्रकृति के सबसे बड़े स्वच्छताकर्मी है । जहरीले कीड़ों को खाकर वे हमारी फसल की रक्षा करते हैं । पक्षी खाद्य श्रृंखला को नियंत्रित करने का एक बड़ा माध्यम है । 

कृपया, जहाँ तक हो सके पक्षियों का शिकार होने से रोकिए । क्योंकि जहाँ पक्षी नहीं होंगे वो स्थान अपने आप निर्जन हो जायेगा ।
