FLN national mission – UGC NET Question

To organise efforts towards FLN, NEP 2020 calls for a National Mission on Foundational Literacy and Numeracy, with state-level implementation mechanisms coordinating curriculum, pedagogy, teacher training and resources so that all children achieve FLN by Grade 3.

Option A:
This option correctly names the mission structure that NEP proposes and signals the seriousness with which early grade learning is treated.

Option B:
Abolishing reading tests would make it harder to monitor progress; NEP recommends better diagnostic assessments, not their removal.

Option C:
Replacing mathematics entirely would harm later learning; the policy strengthens numeracy instead of removing it.

Option D:
Delaying literacy until after Grade 5 directly conflicts with the target of achieving FLN by the end of Grade 3.
