ASER PAKISTAN 2010-2015
ASER - The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) is a citizen led large scale national household survey about the quality of education in rural and some urban areas of Pakistan. Inspired by the ASER India & East Africa UWEZO methodology it seeks to fill a gap on learning outcomes by providing a reliable set of data at the national level on an annual basis, that is comprehensive and easy to understand. The survey’s objectives are three fold: To get reliable estimates of the status of children’s schooling and basic
learning (reading and arithmetic level) To measure the change in these basic learning and school statistics from
last year To interpret these results and use them to affect policy decisions at
various levels.
