UP team looks for innovations in its education system in Nagaland

Lucknow, May 5 (UNI) In a bid to accelerate education reforms, a delegation from State Council of Educational Research and Training (SCERT) from Uttar Pradesh has recently visited Nagaland to study its innovative models and community-driven practices, insights that could play a key role in transforming DIETs into Centres of Excellence in the state, official sources said here on Monday.
Sources said that during the five-day educational tour to Nagaland held between April 26 to 30, the team observed impactful educational models, community engagement practices and innovative approaches implemented across the state.
Sources said that led by SCERT Lucknow's Joint Director, Dr Pawan Sachan, the delegation included principals from CoE DIETs, SCERT officials and representatives from Mantra4Change. "The team not only visited institutions but also engaged at the grassroots level, interacting with schools and village communities to gain firsthand insight into the practical realities shaping Nagaland's education system," they said.
Sources said that the visit brings a renewed sense of direction and momentum to the ongoing reform initiatives in UP. "SCERT Lucknow is now analysing these experiences to develop special training modules, strengthen research units, enhance community participation and design digital monitoring dashboards," they said.
Sources said that these changes will be introduced gradually through a carefully structured action plan rather than rushed implementation. "The delegation returned with valuable insights on community participation, Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE) models and strong research and evaluation systems," they said.
Joint Director of SCERT Lucknow and head of the delegation, Dr Pawan Sachan said, "We need to reinforce honesty, transparency and community involvement in our DIETs. The lessons from Nagaland clearly show how small-scale innovations can lay the foundation for large-scale transformation. We are now working on a plan to strengthen our reform efforts in UP, guided by these learning."
He said that the Nagaland tour is expected to benefit UP in several areas, first, in promoting research-based innovation, enabling DIETs to design solutions rooted in local contexts, second, in strengthening leadership and teacher training through specially curated modules, third, in empowering communities, with policies that encourage village-school collaboration and fourth, in advancing Foundational Literacy and Numeracy (FLN) goals by enhancing reading, writing and basic maths skills in early grades.
