ASER 2024 REPORT FOUND CHILDREN IN MAHARASHTRA HAVE POOR FOUNDATIONAL LITERACY AND NUMERACY SKILLS
MUMBAI: The state government has introduced a special initiative aimed at enhancing learning outcomes for students in Class 2 to 5 across all state board schools. Running from March 5 to June 30, the programme will focus on strengthening students' proficiency in language and mathematics. This decision follows national and state-level surveys, including the ASER and National Achievement Survey (NAS) in 2024, which have highlighted significant gaps in foundational learning. Consequently, students in these grades may experience a shorter summer holiday this year.
