Post-literacy is a process of continuing education. It includes all forms of education that follow after the achievement of basic literacy and enable the learner to consolidate the basic literacy skills to a level equivalent to the completion of formal primary school. As a part of continuing education, post-literacy programmes attempt to give interested learners an opportunity to harness and develop their learning potential after completion of a course in basic literacy. Its programme and activities are designed in a manner so as to prevent neo-literates and semi-literates from relapsing back to illiteracy.
In order to achieve the above objectives, the National Literacy Mission designed a one-year post literacy programme. The planning was done in such a manner that, it was launched just after the conclusion of the total literacy campaign. It was implemented in a mission mode throughout the country. In keeping with its aims, the Mission formulated and circulated broad guidelines such as identification of learning needs of neo-literates, Provision of learning opportunities to meet the needs, creating a socio- economic, political and cultural ambience to sustain the learning environment created during the TLC phase.
Post literacy programmes were open to all those willing to take up reading and learning as a way to enrich life. It was specifically designed to cater to the need of Neo-literates in the 15-35 years age group who has completed the basic literacy course under the total literacy campaigns, Semi-literates/dropouts from the basic literacy phase, Dropouts from primary schools, and Pass-out literates from Non Formal Education (NFE) programmes.
