 Hello, I welcome you all once again to my channel Explore Education, I am Dr. Rishni Singh, Assistant Professor, Department of Education, SS Kanna Girls 2D College, University of Ahabar and it is my email ID and I am discussing topic under the main heading, Adult Education and National Literacy Mission is a major policy program of Comment of India under the program of Adult Education. So, the lecture will be useful for various competitive examinations, your regular courses and for your general awareness. Okay, so let's start. First of all, Nesh, we are talking about Adult Education, we have talked about Proud Education, we have talked about how this concept has developed, how changes have come in its basic notion. So, many policies have been made and everyone covered Adult Education. So, NPE 1986 came, National Literacy in 1986, we have also talked a lot about Adult Education and if you know a little about NLM, National Literacy Mission, then it has been established in 1988, so it was made only after the recommendation of 1985, so we will have to start with NPE 1986, how this NLM started and what NLM has done, its programs. So, it was the National Policy on Education 1986 that created favorable policy environment for elementary education and adult education and also brought female education to the forefront of development planning. So, until you did not have this 2020 education, NPE 1986 was covered a lot, you can say that 2020 has come and we could not do this or that, when its POA was also made, Program of Action was also made in 1990, just to see its follow-up, how much is happening, how much is not happening, what are the difficulties. So, there was no national education in 1986, we raised adult education more closely and talked about it, we had to talk more about it. Why? See, the thing was that we had to increase the literacy rate and we had to increase the literacy rate. So, it happened that the adult who was a former education student, if you literate him, then your literacy rate will increase. So, to increase the literacy rate, it was a very big reason to promote adult education. So, what did he do? NPE 1986, broadening of the approach to adult education, that is, the narrow way, the narrow way of adult education was being talked about, he did the work of broadening it. It articulated for the first time the national commitment to addressing the problem of eradicating adult literacy in a time-bound manner with planned, concerted and coordinated efforts. The policy provided impetus to the development of a mass approach to eradication of illiteracy with mass mobilization and support of divergent sections of society. The campaign approach to literacy, given the magnitude of the task involving promoting literacy among the vast population of non-literates, the program of Action 1992 indoors partnership between the government and civil society and put forward the idea of a technological and societal mission for eradication of illiteracy. NPE 1986 was operationalized through the NLM. It was launched by the government in 1988. The NLM was culmination of the national efforts to urgently address the problem of widespread illiteracy in the adult population through a massive intervention even before articulation of EFA goals in 1990. The NLM was invisaged as an integral part of the overall development efforts of the country and identified as one of the five national technological missions to apply technology and scientific results to promote literacy. It was also conceived as a societal mission to mobilize support of the wider sections of society for the achievement of NLM goals. Technologically, we are taking the help of the NGOs because the efforts of the government can not work at such a large grassroots level. The idea of a societal and technological mission for eradication of illiteracy added a new sense of urgency and seriousness for improving the illiteracy situation. Impositioned the mission as a responsibility of the whole nation involving all sections of society in implementation of the NLM's literacy program. When the NLM is a societal and technological mission, the NLM is a national-trivial program in which everyone has to support and promote adult literacy. What was its purpose? The purpose of the NLM was to provide 80 million illiterates in a group of 15-35 to lead the development of the NLM. According to the NLM, the achievement of functional literacy included Self-reliance on 3R Becoming aware of the cause of one's deprivation and moving towards amelioration of conditions through organization and participation in the process of development. Acquiring skills to improve one's economic status in general well-being Imbibing the values of national integration, conservation of the environment, women's equality, observance of small family norms etc. Re-wamping of NLM Re-wamping of NLM Re-wamping of NLM Re-wamping of NLM In the absence of effective policy, earlier programs of post-literacy and continuing education led an unlimited result. In the previous video, we talked about the concept of post-literacy and post-literacy continuing education. It was Arun Ghosh committee that emphasized the significance of post-literacy and continuing education for sustainable literacy and for linking literacy with development in a way that it is beneficial to the new literate and the poor. Re-wamping of NLM Re-wamping of NLM Re-wamping of NLM Re-wamping Re-wamping of NLM Reported in EFE 2001 Assessment and Dakar declaration Reference point infrared image eh The NLM continues to focus on the disadvantaged sections such as women, schedule cast, schedule tribes, and backward classes as the main target groups. The revamp policy adopts an integrated approach to make basic literacy, post literacy, and continuing education phases into a learning continuum. We have re-established the policy, so we have said that we will make it an integrated approach. Basically, post literacy and continuing education are not separate. Instead, it is a part of learning continuum. First, you should literate, then talk about post literacy, then we will talk about life-long learning and continuing education. Then, I just assume that such approach would achieve continuity, efficiency, and convergence and minimum necessary time lag between different phases of learning. The focus of NLM's strategy has shifted from a mobilization approach to a managerial approach for implementation of literacy campaigns. We have changed its approach to a managerial approach. The major change in the NLM policy is the decentralization of management of adult education from the national to state and district levels and increasing involvement of PRIs, NGOs, and the community in implementation of various programs to meet the diversified learning needs of the community. We have understood that we will decentralize it, not that it is only the center that is working for NLM. You should involve the state, the district level, the community, the grassroots level, until you have no involvement. How can you achieve the target of so many crores of people? It is only for the policies that are on paper. So, NGOs, non-governmental organizations will have to include it. All these things have been said that you should improve NLM in this way. Then, the major trust of NLM's revised policies on efficient management and delivery of various programs through devolution of financial and administrative powers from national to state levels, strengthening and revamping of existing institutions as state resource centers and journal shifts and stands for providing resource support to ongoing programs. They are saying that you should involve the administrative power of the state and NGOs so that you can support the programs that are running. Then, the revised NLM policies and vocales, strengthening institutional linkages within the educational department and other development departments to attend the NLM objectives of imparting functional literacy and building partnership with other agencies and organizations for implementation of various programs. They are saying that the new policies that have been made, they have said that you should make linkages, make connections, make bonds, make connections with different institutions. You should make linkages with educational departments and other development departments so that you can reach the NLM objectives. If we talk about the programs of NLM, there are mainly three programs. Yesterday, we talked about TLC, PLP and CEP. TLC is the Total Literacy Campaign, PEP is the Post Literacy PLP, Post Literacy Program and CEP is the Continuing Education Program. The first program is the Total Literacy Campaign. The objective of the program is to provide basic literacy skills and to achieve predetermined levels of literacy. The target group is the Non-Literate group. The Non-Literate group is 15 to 35 years old. We will teach it for 8 to 12 months, 200 hours of literacy instruction. We will also teach the strategy of how to provide specific time-bound coverage for a given age group, volunteer base, environment building, mass mobilization, improved pedagogy with emphasis on learning outcomes. This was discussed in the Total Literacy Campaign. What is discussed in the PEP, in the PLP, in the Post Literacy Program? The objective of the program is to prevent regression to literacy. We don't want to return to the past, we want to learn from the people who are rigid. Remediation, twin-role dropouts and enable non-achievers to upgrade their literacy skills. We want to teach the people who are not able to get a dropout that they have not been able to learn for some reason. Continuation, to improve literacy skills. You can do it better. Application, to enable learners to use literacy skills in day-to-day life. They have learned, but they don't have any application, so provide them with an application. Skill development, to enable learners to acquire skills for economic self-reliance. Institutionalization, to promote collective action and facilitate take-off to continuing education. Neoliterate, in the Post Literacy Program. We want to teach the people who are not able to get a dropout that they have not been able to learn for some reason. All dropout, left out of literacy campaign, or dropout of literacy campaign is our target group. The duration is also 12 months. Implementation strategy, project formulation, resurvey, environment building, moping operation, conducting, PL activities, skills development. In the end, what is your continuing education for Neoliterate? To provide life-long learning opportunities to all people beyond basic literacy in primary education. We have got primary education, basic literacy, but we have to pray for them to live a healthy life. This is our objective. Neoliterate, which has completed your functional literacy, PLP, is our target group. School dropout is our target group. Passouts of primary school and NFE are our target group. All other members of the community are interested in availing opportunities for life-long learning. And all those people who want to benefit from life-long learning are their target group. There is no duration. There is no limit to duration. There is no duration limit for life-long learning. What is the implementation strategy? To create an effective learning strategy. Make learning relevant. Encourage active thinking, creative thinking. Encourage NGOs, voluntary agencies to attain the objectives. Activate participation of panchayati raj institutions. Enlist community participation. Active linkages with other development departments. And make the program sustainable by making it need-based and demand-oriented. Make it relevant. Encourage NGOs to attain the objectives. Enlist community participation. Activate participation of panchayati raj institutions. Enlist community participation. Activate participation of departments. Enlist community participation. Make it need-based. It will be a basic practice. Now, everyone will follow the pragmatic philosophy. If you don't need it, you won't be able to do it. If you do need it, you will definitely be able to do it. And then, if we conclude this, In sum, the remand policy of NLM has introduced a significant shift in the direction of adult education. It has continued with the target-oriented approach. But there is a marked transition in terms of conceptualization of different phases. Literacy, post-literacy and continuing education and the implementation strategy. Overall, the focus has transformed from ill-radication of illiteracy to removal of residual literacy. To remove the illiteracy, we have reached to a point where we have to remove the residual that has been left behind. We have to do everything well. And from mobilization approach to managerial approach and implementation of literacy campaigns, continuing education is viewed as a key strategy for creating the learning society. On the other hand, the evolution of financial and administrative powers from NLM to SLMA. That is, the National Education and Education and the State Literacy Mission Authority. We have to decentralize them. We have to decentralize the power in the center. So that if everyone has power, it will work easily. So that there can be a flexible approach. It can work. We have to decentralize to run the work. Otherwise, if a person has to move the paper, the paper won't move when it won't come. It won't be a grant release. And the expanded role of NGOs and communities is to seek community participation. It requires a lot of volunteers that the organizations that are non-governmental organizations come forward and help them. That is when such great work can be done. And some of the most crucial aspects of the revised policies are given. In this way, NPE has sent a four-front education to the Delta Education. It said that NLM should be made in 18C. When you are seeing NLM, you are able to revamp three programs. Total Literacy Campaign, Post Literacy Program, and Continuing Education. Total Literacy, we are just literating. Post Literacy has been literated. You are doing a little better. And in Continuing Education, they know how to read, how to work hard. But you are working hard to upgrade them and develop their skills. So that they can connect with the development of the country. This is its main basic fund. Okay. So this is in your course. And if such great work is going on in the country, we should be aware of it. We should know about it. Otherwise, generally, we were small, so we would add it on TV. That pencil, this is a secret, it is written like this. Don't pay much attention to it. There is no mission. But there is so much to know.
