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.

Section VIII: How far have we come on RTE
compliance?
Article 25 A : “The state shall provide
free and compulsory education to all
children of the age of five to sixteen
years in such a manner as may be
determined by Law”
How can ASER 2011 inform the planning, resourcing and
implementation of 25 A?
 ASER can help assess education with respect to:
Access
Quality
Equity
Planning according to district based assessment
Use of ASER data and teams for advocacy on Right to
Education – focusing on gender & the excluded groups
Forming District RTE Committees (DRCs) across the country
and working with other coalitions/alliances/media, teachers
and bar associations.
