From March 4 to 22, 2024, NEILAC conducted fieldwork at Chiringgro as part of the Baseline Survey for Mission CRADLE. This comprehensive survey included key assessments such as the EGRA (Early Grade Reading Assessment) and EGMA (Early Grade Mathematics Assessment) for Class 1 students, aimed at evaluating foundational literacy and numeracy skills. The team also engaged in Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) to better understand the community’s needs and educational challenges. In addition, teachers participated in targeted training sessions designed to enhance their skills in culturally relevant, bilingual teaching methods. The fieldwork further incorporated language documentation efforts to preserve and promote the region’s indigenous languages, laying a solid foundation for the long-term success of Mission CRADLE.
