Literacy numeracy mission deadline pushed to 2027

Subject: Governance

Context: No extra funds for the goal (NEP) , money are allocated from Samagra Shiksha Abhiyan

Concept:

SamagraShiksha is an integrated scheme for school education extending from pre-school to class XII to ensure inclusive and equitable quality education at all levels of school education.
It subsumes the three Schemes of SarvaShikshaAbhiyan (SSA), RashtriyaMadhyamikShikshaAbhiyan (RMSA) and Teacher Education (TE).
The scheme treats school education holistically as a continuum from Pre-school to Class 12.
The main emphasis of the Scheme is on improving the quality of school education by focussing on the two T’s – Teacher and Technology.

Funding Pattern:

The Scheme is being implemented as a Centrally Sponsored Scheme.
The fund sharing pattern for the scheme between Centre and States is at present in the ratio of 90:10 for the North-Eastern States and the Himalayan States and 60:40 for all other States and Union Territories with Legislature.
It is 100% centrally sponsored for Union Territories without Legislature.
The scheme also proposes to give flexibility to the States and UTs to plan and prioritize their interventions within the scheme norms and the overall resource envelope available to them.
