• To transform government school classrooms into smart ones, the Sampark Foundation, an NGO, has launched Sampark FLN (Foundational Literacy and Numeracy) TV for schools.
• The government and the foundation are jointly implementing the programme.
• The programme will help teachers use lesson plans, content videos, activity videos, gamification of assessments and worksheets to make the classrooms smart, interactive and joyful.
• Sampark FLN TV is a huge step in the vision of providing quality education to all through innovative and large-scale solutions.
• Till now, the NGO has provided the Sampark FLN TV device for 111 schools in 12 districts, impacting 3,500 children.
• The TV sets for the programme are being provided by the state government.
• Going forward, the plan is to install Sampark FLN TV devices in 800 government schools, impacting more than 40,000 children. In the next few years, Sampark FLN TV will be installed in all schools of the state.
• In 2018, the Sampark Foundation and the state government had signed a non-financial MoU to improve learning outcomes in government primary schools.
• In 2022, the MoU was renewed for another 3 years to deliver the Sampark’s learning programme to all government schools in the state.
