The Directorate of Literacy & Non-Formal Education (DL&NFE), in collaboration with UNICEF, conducted training for 'Master Trainers' at Government Elementary College of Education, Hyderabad, from August 17 to 23, 2026. The Master Trainers will build the capacity of 120 NFE facilitators on the accelerated learning approach for out-of-school adolescent girls. Thardeep Rural Development Programme (TRDP) is implementing the NFE project in partnership with UNICEF and SELD. The core content covered child-centred and participatory pedagogy; teaching methods for literacy and numeracy; delivery of Social and Emotional Learning (SEL); management of multi-level, mixed-age NFE classrooms; the use of teaching and learning materials; and the assessment, equivalency, and certification processes for learners.
Creating safe, inclusive, and gender-responsive learning environments for adolescent girls was the key focus throughout the training. For the learners, this training will result in better-paced instruction through the learning packages, stronger literacy, numeracy, and learning outcomes, smoother progression toward equivalency and certification, and a safer, more engaging classroom environment that supports retention.
