The National Assessment Centre (PARAKH), a constituent of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT), is conducting the nationwide Foundational Learning Study (FLS) 2026 to assess foundational competencies among students of Grade-3 across the country. The state of Nagaland is conducting the study from 13th to 14th April 2026. A total of 70 sampled schools from across 10 with districts with 798 students will participate in the assessment.
To ensure smooth implementation, a dedicated workforce has been deployed, comprising 2 State Level Coordinators, 20 District Level Coordinators, and 70 Field Investigators. Additionally, 11 Field Investigators have been kept on standby as reserves. The study will cover a sample of 798 students, from both private and government schools, representing diverse backgrounds across the state. The Foundational Learning Study aims to generate reliable data on students' learning levels, which will support evidence-based policy decisions and strengthen foundational education in line with national priorities.
