The decision was made in a meeting last week.
Officials said mapping of anganwadi centres will also be done so that ECCE-based activities can be monitored there. The ECCE task force will also work on arranging pre-primary education in Ashram schools run by the tribal area development department, along with capacity-building training of six months and one year for anganwadi workers.
"Mapping of anganwadi centres with the nearest schools will be done so that anganwadi centres can be run along with schools, which will help in both monitoring nutrition and early education.
Our aim is to strengthen primary education so that the performance of secondary classes improves. Primary classes act as a feeder for secondary education, and a key reason for developing learning gaps is not enough focus on primary education," said an official.
At anganwadi centres, the ECCE programme focuses on making learning playful for children aged 3-6, to help their linguistic and cognitive development. Under this initiative, monthly meetings with parents are also conducted to track children's growth and prepare them for schools.
As part of ECCE, anganwadi centres focus on activities to ensure linguistic development, creative development, and cognitive development, along with tracking health indicators and nutritious food distribution.
The timetable includes activities like painting or drawing, playing games like abacus, and poetry reciting or storytelling.
