Adult education will now be known as ‘Education for All’
State level online meeting of State Literacy Mission
Director of State Institute of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) and State Literacy Mission Authority, Rajendra Kumar Katara said that we have to work towards making the aspirational districts identified by NITI Aayog and the backward districts with low literacy rate in the state 100 percent literate.
For this, survey work should be started immediately in the Ullas app of the Government of India. He said that the students of such schools and colleges of the state and the educated members and retired persons living in the villages who want to make the illiterate people around them literate, should be motivated for this work now. In this regard, start the study of students in Ullas centers immediately.
Katara said that those who have not received certificates in the past, are to be included in the nationwide Mahapariksha campaign organized on March 17. He was addressing the state level online meeting today. District Education Officers of 33 districts of the state, Principals of DIET and District Project Officers of District Literacy Mission were present in the meeting.
Director Katara said that a meeting will be organized soon under the chairmanship of the Collector to reorganize the District Literacy Mission. He said that each school will work as a unit, where social awareness centers or joy centers will be started. These entertainment centers will be decorated attractively, so that students can come there regularly to receive their education. Katara said that for the implementation of this program, people working in mission mode with positive thinking should be appointed as nodal officers at every level. To teach five to ten illiterates, volunteer teachers should be identified and given special training. Trainers from NCERT New Delhi will also be invited to Raipur for training.
Director Katara said that adult education will now be known as ‘education for all’. A special strategy will be adopted to become literate, in which examples of surrounding objects will be presented prominently, so that the person can acquire alphabet knowledge and word knowledge. Will also create an environment for joyous programs in the state.
For this, the examination will be organized twice a year in the months of September and March.
Each diet will be academically functional and monitored. He informed that an action plan for the Nav Bharat Literacy Program approved under the National Education Policy-2020 is being presented to the state government. Emphasis will be placed on offline classes instead of online classes.
Assistant Director and Nodal Officer of State Literacy Mission Authority said regarding the objective of Ulas Navbharat Literacy Program that a lot has been learned in the Ulas Fair organized in New Delhi.
To implement the innovative programs of the states in Chhattisgarh, a tour will also be conducted to the states and districts doing better work in the field of literacy. On this occasion, Assistant Director Dinesh Kumar Tak and Cell Incharge of State Literacy Center of SCERT Dekeshwar Prasad Verma were also present.
