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.
