What is Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN)?

FLN refers to the ability among children to read with meaning and solve basic math problems by the end of Class 3. These are critical gateway skills that form the foundation for children — much as the terminology suggests — on which they build their lives. The successful acquisition of FLN helps children learn more meaningfully as they progress to higher classes, and equip them with 21st Century skills like critical thinking and problem solving which are imperative to succeed in the long run.
