In this article, we will tell you about the complete details of the Ennum Ezhuthum Scheme.

Tamil Nadu Ennum Ezhuthum Mission 2022

The state govt. of Tamil Nadu will start the proposed Ennum Ezhuthum — “Literacy and Numeracy” mission for school students. It is a project initiated by the DMK government this year. The new mission will be attached to the Illam Thedi Kalvi (education at doorsteps) scheme. The primary objective is to raise basic literacy and numeracy level among 1st to 3rd class children. Literacy and Numeracy Mission will ensure that every child attains the fundamental skills of reading, writing, and doing basic arithmetic.

Universal Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) in Tamilnadu

Ennum Ezhuthum Mission is a part of the mega project of the govt. aiming to achieve Universal Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) by 2025. Ennum Ezhutthum was proposed to be launched when the schools were opened for these 1st to 3rd standards. However this academic year, schools could not be opened due to the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak.

Ennum Ezhutthum to be Attached with Illam Thedi Kalvi

Illam Thedi Kalvi Scheme is still active and the government has proposed to mingle the literacy programme with education at doorsteps. The decision to begin literacy and numeracy mission at Illam Thedi Kalvi came since the authorities have no clue when the schools were reopened again for Class 1, 2 and 3.

Course Materials for TN Ennum Ezhuthum Scheme

The State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) had already prepared course materials for the Ennum Ezhutthum Scheme. More than 20 lakh children from over 25,000 government and government-aided schools are expected to be benefited from the literacy and numeracy scheme. Moreover all the teachers, who were deputed for fieldwork, would be distributing the course materials to the children during Illam Thedi Kalvi programme.

In addition to this, the teachers would spend five days to test the children’s fundamental skills with regard to reading, writing, and knowledge of basic arithmetic based on the course materials. Children performance report would be submitted to the SCERT, which would create a database based on the report cards.

A robust monitoring mechanism is also being put in place to track the performance of each and every child. On the basis of performance of the children, the teaching methods will be altered. Tamil Nadu government would be spending about Rs. 66 crore for Ennum Ezhuthum Mission and course materials will also be improved periodically.
