A delegation of about 70 senior education leaders and stakeholders from across the country, as well as from Brazil, South Africa, Kenya, Senegal, the USA, the UK and Argentina, visited Kurukshetra to study the “NIPUN Haryana Mission”, the state’s foundational literacy and numeracy reforms.
The delegation interacted with teachers, students, school heads and education officials and observed structured pedagogy, activity-based learning, teacher guides, workbooks, contextualised teaching-learning materials, the classroom readiness programme and the holistic progress card. The delegates also studied Haryana’s approach to continuous assessment, through which student learning levels are regularly tracked and learning gaps are identified for timely academic support. District teams demonstrated how classroom-level assessment and observation data feed into block, district and state-level monitoring and review mechanisms.
In a statement, the state education department said the delegates were divided into 11 groups and visited government primary schools in three blocks of Kurukshetra district to observe the implementation of NIPUN (National Initiative for Proficiency in Reading with Understanding and Numeracy) in Haryana at the classroom level.
