With the disruption of the pandemic, an FLN focus is more important than ever. #NIPUNBharat, India's FLN mission, aims to get all Class 3 children reading and performing basic math – assessing learning and supporting catch-up will be crucial
Ashish Dhawan@AshishDhawanTCF
#NIPUNBharat underlines the government’s commitment to equip children with foundational #literacy & #numeracy (FLN) skills. As schools reopen, we must prioritise FLN, assess children's FLN levels & accordingly remediate learning. I write in @httweets hindustantimes.com/opinion/a-step…

The pathway to progress on SDG 4 requires the global education architecture to focus on foundational learning and to hold ourselves accountable for achieving it - the core argument of my essay in the International Journal of Educational Development.

@JustinSandefur So at the end of the proverbial day, GPE accounts for 7 percent of aid for basic education or am I misinterpreting? If so, can it therefore not be both pro-basic education and marginal to it?

The full impact of the crisis on education will take years to understand, but learning losses and funding cuts seem inevitable. A renewed focus on learning, and supporting children to catch up, are urgently needed. Article freely accessible.
