Abstract

The National Achievement Survey (NAS) 2021 of India shows that in Language 63%, Mathematics 60% and EVS 60% of students from Assam able to solve class III standard of curriculum and in Language 57%, Mathematics 47% and EVS 52% of students able to solve the class V standard of curriculum. This statistics indicates that in class three standards there are 41% and in Class five standards 48% of students unable to solve their respective curriculum. This survey report reveals a plague scenario of quality primary education in Assam where almost 48% students who lag behind in their quality education they are not able to perform well in reading, writing and calculation in basic primary level of curriculum. In light of the weak foundational level competency of primary students in Literacy and Numeracy the government of India centrally introduced the Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) Program under the NIPUN Bharat Mission. Similar way, in state level, the state Assam introduced the NIPUN Assam Mission to develop these 48% students up to mainstream student’s academic level. Therefore the present study is conducted to visualize the progress and prospect of primary education of Assam after introducing Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) Program. For the present study, Naraynpur Educational Block of Lakhimpur District of Assam selected as the area of study and 298 primary schools of the block selected as the sample of the study on the basis of judgmental sampling technique.
