Foundational Literacy and Numeracy

Every policy is only as good as its implementation.

Foundational Literacy and Numeracy refers to building adequate literacy and numeracy skills during the foundational stage of school education. These are the first 5 years of education up to class 2 when the child is between 3 – 7 years. Since the majority of the brain development happens during this time, cognitive abilities in language and mathematics must be developed during these years.
