New Delhi: The National Council of Educational Research and Training will conduct the Foundational Learning Study to assess and strengthen the basic learning competencies of Delhi students at Grade 3 level in the current academic year, a statement said.
According to the Delhi State Council of Educational Research and Training, the study is scheduled to be conducted during February-March 2026 in temporarily selected, sample schools. The list of participating schools will be shared in advance.
The statement said the Foundational Learning Study is designed to understand how well students acquire basic reading, writing and numeracy skills by the end of the Foundational Stage.
It states that this is a collaborative initiative of SCERT and NCERT.
As part of the preparations, NCERT has shared sample assessment tasks in Hindi and English to familiarize teachers and students with the assessment format and process.
According to SCERT, heads of schools and principals have been asked to ensure that Class 3 teachers help students practice these sample activities to improve their understanding and preparation.
It said schools have also been advised to expose students to a variety of practice questions, tailored to the shared sample tasks, to help familiarize students and strengthen basic skills.
It emphasized that collaboration with schools will be crucial for smooth and effective implementation of the study and promoting strong fundamental learning outcomes among students.
Clarifying the nature of the exercise, NCERT said that FLS is not an examination or test. This is a diagnostic survey and does not involve grading or certification of individual students, nor does it serve as a rating or certification of schools.
The findings are used to inform policy decisions, improve classroom practices and strengthen foundational education under the National Education Policy 2020.
