As part of the SALT Project, Pratham is providing technical support to the Samagra Shiksha State Implementation Society and Women Development&Child Welfare Department GoAP for Early Childhood Education to improve foundational learning of children aged 3 to 8 years. In this connection, Pratham is implementing the SALT program through localized, state-context aligned activities and innovations for improving the quality of education in Anganwadi, Grade 1 and 2 in preschools and primary schools across the state. This is being done in part, through (i) development of a
transformational roadmap for the early childhood education and foundational learning continuum, (ii) building the capacities of Anganwadi workers, preparatory class teachers and early grade teachers, and (iii) developing model Anganwadi Centres and primary school across all districts of the state. Project will be implemented by the Department of School Education (DoSE), Women
Development&Child Welfare GoAP and state-level administrative units including the SCERT, SAMO and the local network of DIETs and ICDS Departments at District Level.

The funds will be released to APCs at the district level to facilitate the procurement of stationery and TLM materials required for practice sessions, as well as to cover travel allowances for all participants and food and snacks during the six-day training program.
