ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

A survey of this nature could only be made possible with the support of many partners.

Aligned to the participatory approach adopted by the Annual Status of Education Report

(ASER), the citizens’ led initiatives like these will determine the shaping and sustainability of

education profiles in this country.

We are thankful to all the participants for their active presence during each session of the

three day workshop. This was fully reflected in the quality of their engagement and desire to

go beyond the workshop to realize ASER Pakistan.

In the end we acknowledge ITA’s logistic team in Peshawar for their technical and logistical

support during the workshop.

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

Annual Status of Education Report - ASER The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) is a survey addressing the quality of

education in Pakistan, and has been facilitated by ITA since 2008. ASER seeks to fill a gap in

educational data by seeking to provide a reliable set of data at the national level that is

comprehensive and, at the same time, easy to understand.

ASER Pakistan 2013 will cover 145 rural districts across Pakistan. In addition to this, ASER

survey will be conducted in 10 urban/ city districts across Pakistan

The ASER model, as in India is such that 30 villages from each district and 20 households

from each village are selected. This gives a total of 600 households per village. The villages

are selected using a Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) sampling technique.

ASER is carried out in a campaign mode and is a truly national project. ASER involves

ordinary citizens in the process of data collection and survey. In order to train these

surveyors, workshops are held where the necessary skills are imparted. After the trainings are

completed, the survey takes place and upon its completion, the results are then sent to

SAFED by the surveyors through their respective district coordinators.

In Pakistan, some assessment systems are already in place, such as National Education

Assessment System (NEAS) and Punjab Examination Commission (PEC). However, ASER

is different from the above mentioned systems because ASER is a household-based survey

looking at the more generic skills of numeracy and literacy, compared to subject specific

learning levels. ASER Pakistan has the following objectives:

Objectives

(i) To get reliable estimates of the status of children’s schooling and basic learning

(reading and arithmetic) at the district level;

(ii) To measure the change in these basic learning and school statistics from last year;

and

(iii) To interpret these results and use them to affect policy decisions at various levels.

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

ASER Pakistan – Provincial Workshop KPK/FATA ASER survey will be conducted in all the 25 rural districts of KPK and 13 districts (and

agencies) of FATA. In addition to this, the urban ASER survey will also cover Peshawar.

The objectives of the ASER Provincial Workshop 2013 were to:

To train two district coordinators from every district of KPK and FATA on ASER

methodology, assessment tools and survey tools so that they can become master

trainers and train 60 volunteers per district in district trainings.

To stress on the importance of ASER survey and dissemination.

To discuss the village lists for ASER 2013 and share budgets

To work on deadlines with the district coordinators for ASER volunteer trainings and

survey collection.

To provide each district with the material required for the survey.

ASER KPK/FATA master level trainings were conducted at Blue Palace Hotel in Peshawar.

The workshops covered the ASER rollout process, impacts of the ASER survey, lesson learnt

from the previous years’ ASER exercise in Pakistan and a way forward to ASER 2013 in

Pakistan. SAFED will conduct this exercise in collaboration with local /national partners

annually until 2015, thereby making it an important accessible national statistical tool for

citizens to engage in measuring educational quality and learning levels.

Proceedings

Day 1 – 16th September 2013 The workshops for both KPK and FATA were started with the recitation of Holy Quran at

9:30 am followed by a brief introduction of the participants.

Waqas Bajwa – Deputy Director Marketing, opened the session with welcoming remarks in

both the KPK and FATA workshops. He also gave a brief presentation on ASER’s vision,

process, future prospects and expectation for participants.

Participating Organizations were:

- National Commission for Human Development –NCHD

- Community Research and Development Organization-CRDO

The first day of the workshops was mainly used to introduce ASER to the participants and get

them familiar with the modalities and architecture of ASER, thereby aligning them with their

own roles and responsibilities.

MAPPING OF THE VILLAGE

By Ali Nabi Nur, Zaheer Abbas and Munawar Khayyam

ASER requires the making a map of the surveyed village with the help of key landmarks i.e.

school, village, roads etc. The making of a map is very important for the sampling of the

survey as it shows the population composition of a village clearly. The trainees at both the

workshops were advised to take a round of the village at the time of the survey and make a

rough map. They were also told that this rough map should then be verified by the 2-3 local

village people before drawing it on the ASER map sheet. If the surveyed village has 4 or less

hamlets then the volunteer should select all the hamlets. However, if there were more than 4

hamlets then any of the 4 can to be randomly selected (through chit system).

Trainees were told that if any village has a continuous housing system or has no clear

segregation of hamlets then the entire village has to be divided into 4 sections by drawing a

vertical line and horizontal line from the center of the page. The households have to be

selected randomly following the every 5th

household rule starting from the left side. Every 5th

household from each selected hamlet was to be surveyed until 5 households are completed in

each of the 4 hamlets. In case of a dead end, second or third rounds are to be taken around the

respective hamlet, if required.

Emphasis was placed on how the ASER methodology defines a household. Trainers were told

that if there are multiple families in 1 house eating from the same kitchen (chulha), the

household is considered as 1 household. If there were no children in the household then all

other information regarding the household is to be taken, i.e. that household is part of the 20

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

households per village. In case, there is no response from a household, it is not considered in

the survey at all.

In order to make certain that the trainees were grasping the importance and idea of village-

mapping, they were divided into groups and asked to make a random village map. One

member from each group was then asked to come on stage and discuss how he/she had

divided his/her map into hamlets. This exercise helped clear the concepts of many of the

participants regarding map making and helped examine different scenarios that could arise at

the time of the real survey.

Learning Assessment

By Zara Khan and Sania Sajid

In this session, the learning assessment tools and the processes of assessment were discussed

in detail. The participants were told to give a detailed introduction of ASER and themselves

when they enter a household or school in the village as this exercise helps to establish a good

rapport with the villagers which is the key for obtaining reliable information from the people.

Taking a local person during the visit if possible can also prove to be beneficial for the

volunteers.

They were told to collect information of children of ages 3-16 years however the learning

assessment should only be done for children aged 5-16 yrs. All the mothers who use the same

kitchen (chulha) should be tested.

The following learning assessment procedure was explained to the participants:

Language abilities

The session started with explaining the participants that the tools need to be folded in a

manner that the attention of the children giving the assessment is not diverted to other

sections. Basic learning section of the assessment is always started from level III as it is the

regional/national language of the children and there are higher chances of children being able

to read sentences in their local language, irrespective of their level of education. If the child

being tested is able to read the sentences fluently, then he/she must be taken to the next level

of assessment which is the ‘story level’. Children who read the story are also to be asked the

comprehension questions (from the General Knowledge tool) in order to determine their

understanding of the story they read. However, in case, the child was not able to read the

sentences, he/she is to be taken back to the level of words, and if he/she is unable to read

words, he/she should be taken to the letter level. Children are only to be marked at their

highest learning level. Those who are unable to read even the letter are to be marked at the

beginner/nothing level.

It was also highlighted that the children must read 4 out of 5 correct words or letters in order

to qualify for the respective assessment level.

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

Arithmetic Abilities

This section starts with the subtraction level where the child is required to do two subtraction

questions, both of which should be correct in order to move forward to the level of division -

the highest level of learning in arithmetic. Children who are or are not able to do division are

asked to do the bonus mathematical problem solving question as the first bonus question is

merely addition. On the other hand, children who are unable to do subtraction should be

taken back to the number recognition 11 – 99 and 1-9, respectively. If a child does not

recognize number 1 to 9 then the level will be nothing or “beginner”.

English Learning Abilities

This assessment begins by capital alphabets. The child is asked to read 5 out of which 4 must

be correct in order to move to the next level which is small alphabets. However, if he/she is

not able to read at least 4 capital letters, the child is marked at the beginner/nothing level. On

the other hand, a child who has cleared the small alphabet level as well is taken to the word

level. Children completing word level are asked further to move to the level of reading

sentences. Those who read the sentences fluently are asked to give the meaning of the

sentences in their local language alongside translating the previous sections’ words to local

language. Children who clear the translation level are marked to have cleared both the bonus

questions.

General Knowledge Abilities

In order to test the general knowledge of the children surveyed, these tools were introduced in

ASER 2013 of the first time. The tool has three sections i.e. English, Arithmetic and

Urdu/Sindhi/Pushto. As mentioned already in the section on Language Abilities, the trainees

were asked to question the surveyed child about the language comprehension questions from

the general knowledge tool if and only if the child is able to read the story fluently. The

English section of this tool contains four pictures, 3 of which the child has to be asked to

identify and name in English. In the section on Arithmetic, the trainees were asked to

question the child firstly about telling the time. The second question of the arithmetic section

focuses on the addition and understanding skills of the child.

In order to make sure that all the tools were understood by participants, short mock household

surveys were held between participants who acted as volunteers and children. These short

mock surveys helped clear the confusions of interacting with and the assessments of children.

Household Sheets

By Zaheer Abbas and Munawar Khayyam

Household sheet was discussed with the participants in detail. They were given details about

each and every column and row, and instructed how to fill in the entire forum. It was

explained what type of information needed to be filled in and how this information will be

processed.

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

Participants were advised to make sure that all the required information is recorded before

leaving the respective household. They were advised to take more than 20 house hold sheets

in case they needed to record more information.

School Observation Sheets

By Zaheer Abbas and Munawar Khayyam

ASER survey collects information on one government school and one private school in each

selected village. Government school observation sheet was discussed first. It was mentioned

that it is mandatory to be filled from each and every village. In case, there is no government

school in a village, volunteers are required to go to the nearest government school where the

children of the selected village go and record information. It was also conveyed that while

selecting from a number of government schools in a village, school with the highest level of

education such as high school must be selected. If there are two high schools within a village

then preference should be given to girl’s high school. In case there is no private school in a

village, it can be mentioned on the private school sheet and submitted without any

information.

It was also clarified that volunteers must not rely on the information provided by the school

authorities / head master and visit every class themselves. Emphasis was laid on the school

fund information that needs to be recorded as school administration is somewhat reluctant to

share this information and the volunteers need to deal with this situation quite tactfully.

Day 2 – 17th September, 2013

Field Visit

Day 2 was reserved for a field visit to a local village. The participants of the workshop were

divided into 4 groups of 15 and taken to the village Mathra, district of Peshawar. All four of

the groups conducted a mock ASER survey and filled household and school observation

sheets which were then submitted to their respective group leaders.

The participants collected information on the schools in the first half of the day whereas

second half was reserved for the household survey.

Feedback & Clarifications

By Zara Khan, Zaheer Abbas, Ali Nur & Munawar Khayyam

The participants gave their feedback on the day’s field visit. The facilitators collectively

addressed all the problems the participants had faced in the villages. The participants also

shared the possible problems the volunteers may face in different parts of the country due to

the cultural differences in different regions of the country.

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

Day 3 – 18th September, 2013 The third day of the training workshop started with the mock presentations in order to

determine the level of understanding of participants and communication abilities so that they

can give the district level training and carry out the survey. The presentation sessions were

monitored by Mr. Zaheer Abbas and Ms. Zara Khan in FATA workshop and by Ms. Ali Nur

and Mr. Munawar Khayyam in the KPK workshop, who also guided the participants on how

to improve their communication skills and ensure that their volunteers are grasping the

concepts.

Logistics, budget, and planning was discussed in the second half of the day. All the focal

persons and master trainers of each district were given the list of the villages in their district

and were distributed the material for the district level training session and survey.

Action Plan

An action plan for the ASER survey 2013 for all the districts of KPK and FATA was

prepared with the help of the respective district managers. It was decided that the survey in

all the districts of KPK & FATA will be completed by 27th

October, 2013.

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

A survey of this nature could only be made possible with the support of many partners.

Aligned to the participatory approach adopted by the Annual Status of Education Report

(ASER), the citizens’ led initiatives like these will determine the shaping and sustainability of

education profiles in this country.

We are thankful to all the participants for their active presence during each session of the

three day workshop. This was fully reflected in the quality of their engagement and desire to

go beyond the workshop to realize ASER Pakistan.

In the end we acknowledge ITA’s logistic team in Hyderabad and Karachi for their technical

and logistical support during the workshop.

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

Annual Status of Education Report - ASER

The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) is a survey addressing the quality of

education in Pakistan, and has been facilitated by ITA since 2008.ASER seeks to fill a gap in

educational data by seeking to provide a reliable set of data at the national level that is

comprehensive and, at the same time, easy to understand.

ASER Pakistan 2013 will cover 145 rural districts across Pakistan. ASER survey will be

conducted in all the 36 districts of Punjab. In addition to this, ASER survey will be conducted

in 10 urban/ city districts across Pakistan

The ASER model, as in India is such that 30 villages from each district and 20 households

from each village are selected. This gives a total of 600 households per village. The villages

are selected using a Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) sampling technique.

ASER is carried out in a campaign mode and is a truly national project. ASER involves

ordinary citizens in the process of data collection and survey. In order to train these

surveyors, workshops are held where the necessary skills are imparted. After the trainings are

completed, the survey takes place and upon its completion, the results are then sent to

SAFED by the surveyors through their respective district coordinators.

In Pakistan, some assessment systems are already in place, such as National Education

Assessment System (NEAS) and Punjab Examination Commission (PEC). However, ASER

is different from the above mentioned systems because ASER is a household-based survey

looking at the more generic skills of numeracy and literacy, compared to subject specific

learning levels. ASER Pakistan has the following objectives:

Objectives

(iv) To get reliable estimates of the status of children’s schooling and basic learning

(reading and arithmetic) at the district level;

(v) To measure the change in these basic learning and school statistics from last year;

and,

(vi) To leverage this workshop as a launching pad for ASER Baluchistan in 2013

through a provincial survey on measuring quality education annually until 2015.

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

ASER Pakistan – Provincial Workshop Sindh ASER survey will be conducted in all the 22 Rural districts of Sindh. In addition to this,

ASER survey will be conducted in 3 urban/ city districts in Sindh namely Karachi,

Hyderabad, and Sukkur.

The objectives of the ASER Provincial Workshop 2013 were to:

Train the focal persons of partner organizations on the ASER Methodology

The first day of the workshop was used to introduce ASER to the participants and get them

familiar with the modalities and architecture of ASER, thereby aligning them with their own

roles and responsibilities.

MAPPING OF THE VILLAGE

By Safyan Jabbar and Mumtaz Pirzada

ASER requires making a map of the surveyed village with the help of key landmarks i.e.

school, village, roads etc. It is very important because we are doing our survey through

sampling and for sampling one should know the population composition clearly. They were

advised to take a round of the village and make a rough map. This rough map should then be

verified by the 2-3 local village people before drawing it on the ASER map sheet. If the

surveyed village has 4 or less hamlets then the volunteer should select all the hamlets.

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

However, if there were more than 4 hamlets then any of the 4 can to be randomly selected

(through chit system).

They were told that if any village has a continuous housing system or has no clear

segregation of hamlets then the entire village has to be divided into 4 sections by drawing a

vertical line and horizontal line from the center of the page. The households have to be

selected randomly following the every 5th

household rule starting from the left side. Every 5th

household from each selected hamlet was to be surveyed until 5 households are completed in

each of the 4 hamlets. In case of a dead end, second or third rounds are to be taken around the

respective hamlet, if required.

Mr. Safyan Jabbar very clearly stated the importance of selecting household. As this is the

very significant step of the survey. The session also included mapping of the village and Mr.

Safyan briefly explained different situation of villages having different demographics. As

villages in Sindh have different type of social status and the communities do not allow

interacting with them.

Emphasis was placed on how the ASER methodology defines a household. They were told

that if there are multiple families in 1 house eating from the same kitchen (chulha), the

household is considered as 1 household. If there were no children in the household then all

other information regarding the household is to be taken, i.e. that household is part of the 20

households per village. In case, there is no response from a household, it is not considered in

the survey at all.

Learning Assessment

By Saba Ishrat

The learning assessment tools and the processes of assessment were discussed in detail. The

participants were told to give a detailed introduction of ASER and themselves when they

enter a household or school in the village as this exercise helps to establish a good rapport

with the villagers which is the key for obtaining reliable information from the people. Taking

a local person during the visit if possible can also prove to be beneficial for the volunteers.

They were told to collect information of children of ages 3-16 years however the learning

assessment should only be done for children aged 5-16 yrs. All the mothers who use the same

kitchen (chulha) should be tested.

The following learning assessment procedure was explained to the participants:

Language abilities

The session started with explaining the participants that the tools need to be folded in a

manner that the attention of the children giving the assessment is not diverted to other

sections. Basic learning section of the assessment is always started from level III as it is the

regional/national language of the children and there are higher chances of children being able

to read sentences in their local language, irrespective of their level of education. If the child

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

being tested was able to read the sentences fluently, then they must be taken to the next level

of assessment which is the story. Children who read the story are also to be asked the bonus

questions at the end in order to determine their understanding of the story they read.

However, in case, the child was not able to read the sentences, he/she is to be taken back to

the level of words, and if he/she is unable to read words, they should be taken to the letter

level. Children are only to be marked at their highest learning level. Those who are unable to

read even the letter are to be marked at the beginner/nothing level.

It was also highlighted that the children must read 4 out of 5 correct words or letters in order

to qualify for the respective assessment level.

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

Arithmetic Abilities

This section starts with the subtraction level where the child is required to do two subtraction

questions, both of which should be correct in order to move forward to the level of division -

the highest level of learning in arithmetic. Children who are or are not able to do division are

asked to do the bonus mathematical problem solving question as the first bonus question is

merely addition. On the other hand, children who are unable to do subtraction should be

taken back to the number recognition 11 – 99 and 1-9, respectively. If a child does not

recognize number 1 to 9 then the level will be “nothing “or beginning.

English Learning Abilities

This assessment begins by capital alphabets. The child is asked to read 5 out of which 4 must

be correct in order to move to the next level which is small alphabets. However, if he/she is

not able to read at least 4 capital letters, the child is marked at the beginner/nothing level. On

the other hand, a child who has cleared the small alphabet level as well is taken to the word

level. Children completing word level are asked further to move to the level of reading

sentences. Those who read the sentences fluently are asked to give the meaning of the

sentences in their local language alongside translating the previous sections’ words to local

language. Children who clear the translation level are marked to have cleared both the bonus

questions.

Household Sheets

By Rita Kumar

Household sheet was discussed with the participants in detail. They were given details about

each and every column and row, and instructed how to fill in the entire forum. It was

explained what type of information needed to be filled in and how this information will be

processed.

Participants were advised to make sure that all the required information is recorded before

leaving the respective household. They were advised to take more than 20 house hold sheets

in case they needed to record more information.

School Observation Sheets

By Mumtaz Pirzada

ASER survey collects information on one government school and one private school in each

selected village. Government school observation sheet was discussed first. It was mentioned

that it is mandatory to be filled from each and every village. In case, there is no government

school in a village, volunteers are required to go to the nearest government school where the

children of the selected village go and record information. It was also conveyed that while

selecting from a number of government schools in a village, school with the highest level of

education such as high school must be selected. If there are two high schools within a village

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

than preference should be given to girl’s high school. In case there is no private school in a

village, it can be mentioned on the private school sheet and submitted without any

information.

It was also clarified that volunteers must not rely on the information provided by the school

authorities / head master and visits every class themselves. Emphasis was laid on the school

fund information that needs to be recorded as school administration is somewhat reluctant to

share this information and the volunteers need to deal with this situation quite tactfully.

Day 2 – September 20, 2013

Field Visit

Day 2 was reserved for a field visit to a local village. The participants of the workshop were

divided into 2 groups of 11 districts. Both groups were taken to a nearby village:

Village WankiWasi( Tando Jam )

Village Tando Haider (Hyderabad Rural)

The Team of SEF (10 districts) and NDS left for the village Tando Haider in Hyderabad

Rural Taluka. Madam Saba Ishrat, Rita Kumar, Maryam Saba, Sheeraz Syed and Mohammad

Aslam lead the group in the field. The other team comprising of HANDS (7 Districts),

NCHD (3 Districts) and SEDF left for village Wanki Wasi in the Hydrabad Rural Taluka.

Mr. Safyan Jabbar, Mumtaz Pirzada, Shoaib Memon and Mohammad Hashim lead the group

in field.

Feedback & Clarifications

By Safyan Jabbar, Saba Ishrat, Rita Kumar, Mumtaz Pirzada

The participants gave their feedback on the day’s field visit. The facilitators collectively

addressed all the problems the participants had faced in the villages. The participants also

shared the possible problems the volunteers may face in different parts of the country due to

the cultural differences in different regions of the country.

Day 3

The last day started with the Recap of all previous sessions of two days. The ASER Video for

Trainer`s made the task easy for team. The video, in brief covered all the steps of ASER

survey. This effort of ASER Team was praised by all participants.

Logistics, budget, and planning was discussed in the second half of the day. All the focal

persons and master trainers of each district were given the list of the villages in their district

and were distributed the material for the district level training session and survey.

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

Action Plan

Mumtaz Pirzada asked all participants to finalize their strategy to start ASER in Sindh. Mr.

Safyan Jabbar and Ms. Saba Ishrat had detailed meeting with focal persons of all partner

organizations to formulate the work plan. All focal persons principally agreed that they will

submit their plan by Tuesday 24 Sept 2013.

verified by the 2-3 local village people before drawing it on the ASER map sheet. If the

surveyed village has 4 or less hamlets then the volunteer should select all the hamlets.

However, if there are more than 4 hamlets then any of the 4 can to be randomly selected

(through chit system).

They were told that if any village has a continuous housing system or has no clear

segregation of hamlets then the entire village has to be divided into 4 sections by drawing a

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

vertical line and horizontal line from the center of the page. The households have to be

selected randomly following the every 5th

household rule starting from the left side. Every 5th

household from each selected hamlet is to be surveyed until 5 households are completed in

each of the 4 hamlets. In case of a dead end, second or third rounds are to be taken around the

respective hamlet, if required.

Emphasis was placed on how the ASER methodology defines a household. They were told

that if there are multiple families in 1 house eating from the same kitchen (chulha), the

household is considered as 1 household. If there were no children in the household then all

other information regarding the household is to be taken, i.e. that household is part of the 20

households per village. In case, there is no response from a household, it is not considered in

the survey at all.

The trainers also suggested that the map could also be discussed with the village elders,

numberdar, councilor or patwari if possible for a better result. The primary idea behind

making a map is to get the true representation of the village population. Furthermore, the map

also helps in the monitoring / rechecking of surveyed villages.

Learning Assessment

By Muhammad Usman and Maryam Saba

The learning assessment tools and the processes of assessment were discussed in detail. The

participants were told to give a detailed introduction of ASER and themselves when they

enter a household or school in the village as this exercise helps to establish a good rapport

with the villagers which is the key for obtaining reliable information from the people. Taking

a local person during the visit if possible can also prove to be beneficial for the volunteers.

They were told to collect information of children of ages 3-16 years. Howeve,r the learning

assessment should only be done for children aged 5-16 yrs. All the mothers who use the same

kitchen (chulha) should be tested.

The following learning assessment procedure was explained to the participants:

Language abilities

The session started with explaining the participants that the tools need to be folded in a

manner that the attention of the children giving the assessment is not diverted to other

sections. Basic learning section of the assessment is always started from level III as it is the

regional/national language of the children and there are higher chances of children being able

to read sentences in their local language, irrespective of their level of education. If the child

being tested is able to read the sentences fluently, then they must be taken to the next level of

assessment which is the story. Children who read the story are also to be asked the General

Knowledge questions at the end in order to determine their understanding of the story they

have read. However, in case, the child is not able to read the sentences, he/she is to be taken

back to the level of words, and if he/she is unable to read words, he/she should be taken to the

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

letter level. Children are only to be marked at their highest learning level. Those who are

unable to read even the letter are to be marked at the beginner/nothing level.

It was also highlighted that the children must read 4 out of 5 correct words or letters in order

to qualify for the respective assessment level.

Arithmetic Abilities

This section starts with the subtraction level where the child is required to do two subtraction

questions, both of which should be correct in order to move forward to the level of division -

the highest level of learning in arithmetic. Children who are or are not able to do division are

asked to do the bonus mathematical problem solving question as the first bonus question is

merely addition. On the other hand, children who are unable to do subtraction should be

taken back to the number recognition 11 – 99 and 1-9, respectively. If a child does not

recognize number 1 to 9 then the level will be ‘nothing’ or ‘beginner’. Irrespective of whether

the child has completed the basic learning assessment, he/she is asked to answer the General

Knowledge question.

English Learning Abilities

This assessment begins by capital alphabets. The child is asked to read 5 capital letters out of

which 4 must be correct in order to move to the next level which is small alphabets.

However, if he/she is not able to read at least 4 capital letters, the child is marked at the

beginner/nothing level. On the other hand, a child who has cleared the small alphabet level as

well is taken to the word level. Children completing word level are asked further to move to

the level of reading sentences. Irrespective of whether the child has completed the basic

learning assessment, he/she is asked to answer the General Knowledge question.

Household Sheets

By Muhammad Usman and Fiaz Hassan Virk

Household sheet was discussed with the participants in detail. They were given details about

each and every column and row, and instructed how to fill in the entire forum. It was

explained what type of information needed to be filled in and how this information will be

processed.

Participants were advised to make sure that all the required information is recorded before

leaving the respective household. They were advised to take more than 20 house hold sheets

in case they needed to record more information.

School Observation Sheets

By Zara Khan and Akhtar Mirza

ASER survey collects information on one government school and one private school in each

selected village. Government school observation sheet was discussed first. It was mentioned

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

that it is mandatory to be filled from each and every village. In case, there is no government

school in a village, volunteers are required to go to the nearest government school where the

children of the selected village go and record information. It was also conveyed that while

selecting from a number of government schools in a village, school with the highest level of

education such as high school must be selected. If there are two high schools within a village

then preference should be given to girl’s high school. In case there is no private school in a

village, it can be mentioned on the private school sheet and submitted without any

information.

It was also clarified that volunteers must not rely on the information provided by the school

authorities / head master and visit every class themselves. Emphasis was laid on the school

fund information that needs to be recorded as school administration is somewhat reluctant to

share this information and the volunteers need to deal with this situation quite tactfully.

Day 2

Field Visit

Day 2 was reserved for a field visit to a local village. The participants of the workshop were

divided into 2 groups of 15. Both groups were taken to a nearby village:

Kot Pindi Daas (Punjab: north)

Durrana Langana (Punjab: south)

Buua Pur (Punjab: south)

Both the groups conducted a mock ASER survey in their respective villages. They filled

household and school observation sheets which were then submitted to their respective group

leaders.

The participants collected information on the schools in the first half of the day whereas

second half was reserved for the household survey.

Feedback & Clarifications

By Sehar Saeed, Muhammad Usman, Maryam Saba & Fiaz Hassan

The participants gave their feedback on the day’s field visit. The facilitators collectively

addressed all the problems the participants had faced in the villages. The participants also

shared the possible problems the volunteers may face in different parts of the country due to

the cultural differences in different regions of the country.

Day 3 The third day of the training workshop started with the mock presentations in order to

determine the level of understanding of participants and communication abilities so that they

can give the district level training and carry out the survey. The presentation sessions were

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

monitored by Mr. Safyan Jabbar and Mr. Usman in Lahore and by Ms. Maryam Saba and Mr.

Fiaz Hassan in Multan who also guided the participants on how to improve their

communication skills and ensure that their volunteers are grasping the concepts.

Logistics, budget, and planning was discussed in the second half of the day. All the focal

persons and master trainers of each district were given the list of the villages in their district

and were distributed the material for the district level training session and survey.

Action Plan

An action plan for the ASER survey 2013 for all the districts of Punjab was prepared with the

help of the respective district managers. It was decided that the survey in all the districts of

Punjab will be completed by 25th

October, 2013.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

All praise to Allah the Almighty for the successful completion of the three day provincial

training program in AJK advocated by the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) - the

citizens’ led initiative. It is efforts like these which determine the shaping and sustainability

of education profiles in Pakistan.

It would have been not possible to fully conduct the training program without the cooperation

and support of the partner organizations. We are also thankful to all the participants for their

admirable presence and interactive participation during each session of the three day

workshop. This was fully reflected in the quality of their engagement and desire to go beyond

the workshop to realize ASER Pakistan.

In the end we acknowledge ITA for technical and logistical support during the workshop.

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

ASER Pakistan – AJK Provincial Workshop

Annual Status of Education Report – ASER Pakistan 2013, AJK Provincial workshop was

held at the Sangum Hotel facilitated by resource persons from ASER core team.

The workshop covered the ASER rollout process, impacts of the ASER survey, lesson learnt

from the previous years’ ASER exercise in Pakistan and a way forward to ASER 2013 in

Pakistan. SAFED will conduct this exercise in collaboration with local /national partners

annually until 2015, thereby making it an important accessible national statistical tool for

citizens to engage in measuring educational quality and learning levels.

Annual Status of Education Report - ASER

The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) is a survey addressing the quality of

education in Pakistan, and has been facilitated by ITA since 2008. ASER seeks to fill a gap in

educational data by seeking to provide a reliable set of data at the national level that is

comprehensive and, at the same time, easy to understand.

The ASER piloted 11 districts in its first year; 2008. In 2011, 82 districts across the country

were surveyed, 135 districts were surveyed in 2012 and survey in 145 districts is being

conducted in the current year. The survey is aimed to cover all the rural districts in Pakistan

this year including ten urban cities.

The ASER model, as in India is such that 30 villages from each district and 20 households

from each village are selected. This gives a total of 600 households per village. The villages

are selected using a Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) sampling technique.

ASER is carried out in a campaign mode and is a truly national project. ASER involves

ordinary citizens in the process of data collection and survey. In order to train these

surveyors, workshops are held where the necessary skills are imparted. After the trainings are

completed, the survey takes place and upon its completion, the results are then sent to

SAFED by the surveyors through their respective district coordinators.

In Pakistan, some assessment systems are already in place, such as National Education

Assessment System (NEAS) and Punjab Examination Commission (PEC). However, ASER

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

is different from the above mentioned systems because ASER is a household-based survey

looking at the more generic skills of numeracy and literacy, compared to subject specific

learning levels. ASER Pakistan workshop has the following objectives:

Objectives

1. To get reliable estimates of the status of children’s schooling and basic learning

(reading and arithmetic) at the district level;

2. To measure the change in these basic learning and school statistics from last year;

and,

3. To leverage this workshop as a launching pad for ASER Pakistan 2013 in AJK

through a provincial training & survey on measuring quality education annually

until 2015.

Day 1 – September 25, 2013

Workshop started with the recitation of Holy Quran at 9 30 am which was followed by an ice

breaking introduction session amongst the participants. They were asked to share their

expectations of the workshop which revealed that they were aiming to acquire new skills in

terms ASER Pakistan’s approach and methodology in order to make ASER Pakistan more

successful.

Mr. Waqas Bajwa started the workshop at the Sangum Hotel by sharing the schedule of the

three day workshop with the participants and introduced ASER briefly. Full fledge

presentation on the vision, mission, process, future prospects of ASER were given by Ali

Nabi Noor – Research Associate. He also discussed the implications and policy

recommendations taking place as the result of the ASER report being published each year.

Total numbers of participants were 12. The workshop took place at Conference Hall, Sangum

Hotel, Muzaffarabad, Azad Jammu Kashmir.

The objectives of the ASER AJK Provincial Workshop 2013 were to:

Train the focal persons of partner organizations on the ASER methodology

Planning for ASER Pakistan 2013 implementation

Basically the first day of the workshop was used to introduce ASER to the participants and

get them acquainted with the modalities and architecture of ASER, thereby aligning them

with their own roles and responsibilities. Mr. Waqas Ali Bajwa shared the following plan

with the participants:

Phase I: Year I [2010] - 30 districts across Pakistan - Completed

Phase II: Year II [2011] - 84 districts across Pakistan - Completed

Phase III: Year III, IV, V [2012-2015] - 145 districts across Pakistan – In process

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

ASER Pakistan 2012 survey findings were also shared with the participants. Total 251,444

children were tested in 82,521 households. According to the report 77% children are going to

school and 23% are not going to school (out of school/dropout/never enrolled). Other

findings of ASER 2012 shared included the following:

- Girls access and learning is lower than boys

- Learning Levels are better in Private schools overall

- More Private school students take paid tuition than government students

- Missing facilities persist particularly in Primary schools: Toilets (50%) , Drinking

Water, (61%), Boundary Walls (62%)

- Mothers who have completed at least primary (highly correlated with children’s

access and learning) is Low in Pakistan (22 %)

- 87% teachers attend schools - Sindh 83% (lowest)

- Almost 49% children in class 5 will graduate without class 2 level competencies in

Urdu/Sindhi , English and Arithmetic

MAPPING OF THE VILLAGE

By Mr. Zaheer (Research Associate, ASER)

The mapping session is one of the integral parts of the entire workshop as the contents of the

remaining workshop and eventually the survey depend on the results of the mapping. Mr.

Zaheer explicitly explained the procedure of making a rough map as soon as the volunteer

enter the village, followed by marking all the main landmarks. The map can later on easily be

copied on to the mapping sheet once the volunteer has visited the entire village and grasped

the idea of the directions of the village. It was also mentioned that help from villagers or

some elder could be taken to make the map and to ensure that the details on the map are

correct.

After explaining the process of drawing the map, the participants were explained how to

choose the selected sample of households from the entire village. If the village could easily

be divided into 4 hamlets, volunteers must select 5 households from each hamlet such that

they should select every 5th

household on their left hand side beginning from the center of the

hamlet. This ensures there is no bias in the sample and the process is completely random in

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

nature. In case, there are more than 4 hamlets in a village, volunteers must select 4 hamlets

via the chit system and encircle the selected hamlets on the map.

Furthermore, the definition of terms such as a household was also given clearly. If there are

more than one families residing in one house, they will be considered one household only if

they have a mutual kitchen (chulla). However, if both the families living in the house have

different kitchens, they will be considered separate households and the household with the

first interaction should be selected for the survey.

Learning Assessment

by Mr.Mushtaq (Representative from Hamza Development Foundation) & Ms. Huma Zia –

(Senior Research Associate)

The learning assessment tools and the processes of assessment were discussed in detail. The

participants were told to give a detailed introduction of ASER and themselves when they

enter a village, household or a school in the village as this exercise helps to establish a good

rapport with the villagers which is the key for obtaining reliable information from the people.

Taking a local person during the visit if possible can also prove to be beneficial for the

volunteers. It was also highlighted that information details have to be recorded for children of

ages 3 – 16 years whereas only children aging 5 - 16 years can be tested for assessment. All

three learning assessment tools (Urdu/ Sindhi, English, and Arithmetic) were discussed in

detail.

Basic Learning Abilities

This section focuses on finding out the learning abilities of children in the local language.

Majority of schools in AJK are either English medium or Urdu medium. Therefore, the

participants were given assessment tools in Urdu.

The session started with explaining the participants that the tools need to be folded in a

manner that the attention of the children giving the assessment is not diverted to other

sections. Basic learning section of the assessment is always started from level III as it is the

regional/national language of the children and there are higher chances of children being able

to read sentences in their local language, irrespective of their level of education. If the child

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

being tested was able to read the sentences fluently, then they must be taken to the next level

of assessment which is the story. However, in case, the child was not able to read the

sentences, he/she is to be taken back to the level of words, and if he/she is unable to read

words, they should be taken to the letter level. Children are only to be marked at their highest

learning level. Those who are unable to read even the letter are to be marked at the

beginner/nothing level.

It was also highlighted that the children must read 4 out of 5 correct words or letters in order

to qualify for the respective assessment level.

Arithmetic Abilities

This section starts with the subtraction level where the child is required to do two subtraction

questions, both of which should be correct in order to move forward to the level of division -

the highest level of learning in arithmetic. On the other hand, children who are unable to do

subtraction should be taken back to the number recognition 11 – 99 and 1-9, respectively. If a

child does not recognize number 1 to 9 then the level will be “nothing”.

English Learning Abilities

This assessment begins by capital alphabets. The child is asked to read 5 out of which 4 need

to be correct in order to move to the next level which is small alphabets. However, if he/she is

not able to read at least 4 capital letters, the child is marked at the beginner/nothing level. On

the other hand, a child who has cleared the small alphabet level as well is taken to the word

level. Children completing word level are asked further to move to the level of reading

sentences.

General Knowledge Abilities

General Knowledge tools were introduced in ASER 2013 for the first time. This tool has

three sections i.e. English, Arithmetic and Urdu/Sindhi/Pashto. The Urdu/Sindhi/Pashto

general knowledge section is the only one which is related with the respective tool such that

the questions asked are related to the highest level of reading, which is, story. For English

section, there are four pictures which have to been identified by the child and the child has to

name them in English. However, for Arithmetic, children have to tell time and do some

problem sums which focus on the addition and understanding skills of the child.

Household Survey

by Mr. Ali Nabi Noor

Household sheet was discussed with the participants in detail. They were given details about

each and every column and row, and instructed how to fill in the entire forum. It was

explained what type of information needed to be filled in and how this information will be

processed. Sample report cards from ASER 2012 were also shown to them in order to give

them an idea how this information is processed.

Participants were advised to make sure that all the required information is recorded before

leaving the respective household. They were advised to take more than 20 house hold sheets

in case they needed to record more information.

School Observation Survey

by Huma Zia (Senior Research Associate – ASER)

ASER survey collects information on one government school and one private school in each

selected village. Government school observation sheet was discussed first. It was mentioned

that it is mandatory to be filled from each and every village. In case, there is no government

school in a village, volunteers are required to go to the nearest government school where the

children of the selected village go and record information. It was also conveyed that while

selecting from a number of government schools in a village, school with the highest level of

education such as high school must be selected. If there are two high schools within a village

than preference should be given to girl’s high school. In case there is no private school in a

village, it can be mentioned on the private school sheet and submitted without any

information.

It was also clarified that volunteers must not rely on the information provided by the school

authorities / head master and visit every class themselves. Emphasis was laid on the school

fund information that needs to be recorded as school administration is somewhat reluctant to

share this information and the volunteers need to deal with this situation quite tactfully.

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

Day 2 – 26 September, 2013

The second day of the workshop was dedicated to the field visit which was planned for better

understanding and practical exposure of the participants. All the participants were divided

into two teams and taken to a nearby village.

Participants were dropped to their respective villages around 10 30 am. All the teams visited

the government school immediately as there was very less time for them to conduct the

survey since schools were going to close at 1pm. After completing the school survey, the

participants moved to the household survey in their respective villages. They followed all the

steps and procedure of selection of households at the first day of the training. Each team has

ASER team members who were there to guide them through the process in case the

participants needed any clarification.

All the groups returned to the training center by 3pm. A highly participative discussion

session was carried out by Mr. Bajwa, Noor, Abbas, and Ms. Zia where all the matters of

confusion and concern of the participants were catered. Participants collectively addressed

the possible problems the volunteers may have in different parts of the country due to the

cultural differences in different regions of the country.

Day 3 – 27 September, 2013

The third day of the training workshop started with a recap where a video clipping was shared

with the participants so that their concepts and procedure of conducting the district training

was clear. Following the sharing of the video, participants from all the districts were made to

give mock presentations in order to determine their level of understanding and

communication abilities so that they can give the district level training and carry out the

survey. The presentation sessions were monitored by Mr. Noor, Abbas, Noor and Ms. Zia

who also guided the participants on how to improve their communication skills and ensure

that their volunteers are grasping the concepts.

Logistics, budget, and planning were discussed right after the revision. All the focal persons

and master trainers of each district were given the list of the villages in their district and were

distributed the material for the district level training session and survey.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

A survey of this nature could only be made possible with the support of many partners.

Aligned to the participatory approach adopted by the Annual Status of Education Report

(ASER), the citizens’ led initiatives like these will determine the shaping and

sustainability of education profiles in this country.

We are thankful to all the participants for their active presence during each session of

the three day workshop. This was fully reflected in the quality of their engagement and

desire to go beyond the workshop to realize ASER Pakistan.

In the end we acknowledge ITA’s logistic team for their technical and logistical support

during the workshop.

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

Annual Status of Education Report - ASER The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) is a survey addressing the quality of

education in Pakistan, and has been facilitated by ITA since 2008. ASER seeks to fill a gap in

educational data by seeking to provide a reliable set of data at the national level that is

comprehensive and, at the same time, easy to understand.

ASER Pakistan 2013 will cover 145 rural districts across Pakistan. In addition to this, ASER

survey will be conducted in 10 urban/ city districts across Pakistan

The ASER model, as in India is such that 30 villages from each district and 20 households

from each village are selected. This gives a total of 600 households per village. The villages

are selected using a Probability Proportional to Size (PPS) sampling technique.

ASER is carried out in a campaign mode and is a truly national project. ASER involves

ordinary citizens in the process of data collection and survey. In order to train these

surveyors, workshops are held where the necessary skills are imparted. After the trainings are

completed, the survey takes place and upon its completion, the results are then sent to

SAFED by the surveyors through their respective district coordinators.

In Pakistan, some assessment systems are already in place, such as National Education

Assessment System (NEAS) and Punjab Examination Commission (PEC). However, ASER

is different from the above mentioned systems because ASER is a household-based survey

looking at the more generic skills of numeracy and literacy, compared to subject specific

learning levels. ASER Pakistan has the following objectives:

Objectives

(x) To get reliable estimates of the status of children’s schooling and basic learning

(reading and arithmetic) at the district level;

(xi) To measure the change in these basic learning and school statistics from last year;

and,

(xii) To leverage this workshop as a launching pad for ASER Baluchistan in 2013

through a provincial survey on measuring quality education annually until 2015.

Planning for ASER Pakistan 2013 Implementation in Gilgit Baltistan Province

The first day of the workshop was used to introduce ASER to the participants and get them

familiar with the modalities and architecture of ASER, thereby aligning them with their own

roles and responsibilities.

MAPPING OF THE VILLAGE

Zaheer Abbas & Waqas Bajwa

ASER requires making a map of the surveyed village with the help of key landmarks i.e.

school, village, roads etc. It is very important because we are doing our survey through

sampling and for sampling one should know the population composition clearly. They were

advised to take a round of the village and make a rough map. This rough map should then be

verified by the 2-3 local village people before drawing it on the ASER map sheet. If the

surveyed village has 4 or less hamlets then the volunteer should select all the hamlets.

However, if there were more than 4 hamlets, of approximately equal population size, then

any 4 of them can be randomly selected (through chit system).

They were told that if any village has a continuous housing system or has no clear

segregation of hamlets then the entire village has to be divided into 4 sections by drawing a

vertical line and horizontal line from the center of the page. The households have to be

selected randomly following the every 5th

household rule starting from the left side. Every 5th

household from each selected hamlet was to be surveyed until 5 households are completed in

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

each of the 4 hamlets. In case of a dead end, second or third rounds are to be taken around the

respective hamlet, if required.

Due to the hilly terrain of Gilgit Baltistan, emphasis was laid on how to conduct ASER

mapping in such terrain with far spaced hamlets and difficult roads.

Emphasis was placed on how the ASER methodology defines a household. They were told

that if there are multiple families in 1 house eating from the same kitchen (chulha), the

household is considered as 1 household. If there were no children in the household then all

other information regarding the household is to be taken, i.e. that household is part of the 20

households per village. In case, there is no response from a household, it is not considered in

the survey at all.

It was also suggested that the map could also be discussed with the village elders, numberdar,

councilor or patwari if possible for a better result. The primary idea behind mapping is to

draw a representative sample of the targeted village. Furthermore, the map also helps in the

monitoring / rechecking of surveyed villages.

Learning Assessment Tools

By Zaheer Abbas

The learning assessment tools and the processes of assessment were discussed in detail. The

participants were told to give a detailed introduction of ASER and themselves when they

enter a household or school in the village as this exercise helps to establish a good rapport

with the villagers which is the key for obtaining reliable information from the people. Taking

a local person during the visit, if possible, can also be beneficial for the volunteers.

They were told to collect information of children of ages 3-16 years however the learning

assessment should only be done for children aged 5-16 yrs.

The following learning assessment procedure was explained to the participants:

Language abilities

The session started with explaining the participants that the tools need to be folded in a

manner that the attention of the children giving the assessment is not diverted to other

sections. Basic learning section of the assessment is always started from level III as it is the

regional/national language of the children and there are higher chances of children being able

to read sentences in their local language, irrespective of their level of education. If the child

being tested was able to read the sentences fluently, then they must be taken to the next level

of assessment which is the story. Children who read the story are also to be asked the bonus

questions at the end in order to determine their understanding of the story they read.

However, in case, the child was not able to read the sentences, he/she is to be taken back to

the level of words, and if he/she is unable to read words, they should be taken to the letter

level. Children are only to be marked at their highest learning level. Those who are unable to

read even the letter are to be marked at the beginner/nothing level.

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

It was also highlighted that the children must read 4 out of 5 correct words or letters in order

to qualify for the respective assessment level.

Arithmetic Abilities

This section starts with the subtraction level where the child is required to do two subtraction

questions, both of which should be correct in order to move forward to the level of division -

the highest level of learning in arithmetic. Children who are or are not able to do division are

asked to do the bonus mathematical problem solving question as the first bonus question is

merely addition. On the other hand, children who are unable to do subtraction should be

taken back to the number recognition 11 – 99 and 1-9, respectively. If a child does not

recognize number 1 to 9 then the level will be “nothing “or beginning.

English Learning Abilities

This assessment begins by capital alphabets. The child is asked to read 5 out of which 4 must

be correct in order to move to the next level which is small alphabets. However, if he/she is

not able to read at least 4 capital letters, the child is marked at the beginner/nothing level. On

the other hand, a child who has cleared the small alphabet level as well is taken to the word

level. Children completing word level are asked further to move to the level of reading

sentences. Those who read the sentences fluently are asked to give the meaning of the

sentences in their local language alongside translating the previous sections’ words to local

language. Children who clear the translation level are marked to have cleared both the bonus

questions.

Household Sheets

By Waqas Bajwa

Household sheet was discussed with the participants in detail. They were given details about

each and every column and row, and instructed how to fill in the entire forum. It was

explained what type of information needed to be filled in and how this information will be

processed.

Participants were advised to make sure that all the required information is recorded before

leaving the respective household. They were advised to take more than 20 house hold sheets

in case they needed to record more information.

School Observation Sheets

By Imtiaz Nizami

ASER survey collects information on one government school and one private school in each

selected village. Government school observation sheet was discussed first. It was mentioned

that it is mandatory to be filled from each and every village. In case, there is no government

school in a village, volunteers are required to go to the nearest government school where the

children of the selected village go and record information. It was also conveyed that while

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

selecting from a number of government schools in a village, school with the highest level of

education such as high school must be selected. If there are two high schools within a village

than preference should be given to girl’s high school. In case there is no private school in a

village, it can be mentioned on the private school sheet and submitted without any

information.

It was also clarified that volunteers must not rely on the information provided by the school

authorities / head master and visit every class themselves. Emphasis was laid on the school

fund information that needs to be recorded as school administration is somewhat reluctant to

share this information and the volunteers need to deal with this situation quite tactfully.

Day 2 – October 2, 2013

Field Visit

Day 2 was reserved for a field visit to a local village. The participants of the workshop were

divided into 2 groups. One group was led by Bilal and the other by Hasnain Astori from

NCHD. Both groups were taken to a nearby village:

- Nomal, Gilgit, Gilgit Baltistan

Both the groups conducted a mock ASER survey in two different schools in the village. After

mapping, each group was then further divided into pairs of two volunteers who went to the

households. The household and school observation sheets were filled and were then

submitted to their respective group leaders.

The participants collected information on the schools in the first half of the day whereas

second half was reserved for the household survey.

Feedback & Clarifications

By Imtiaz Nizami, Zaheer Abbas & Waqas Bajwa

The participants gave their feedback on the day’s field visit. The facilitators collectively

addressed all the problems the participants had faced in the villages. The participants also

shared the possible problems the volunteers may face in different parts of the country due to

the cultural differences in different regions of the country.

The day concluded with the mock presentations in order to determine the level of

understanding of participants and communication abilities so that they can give the district

level training and carry out the survey. The participants were also guided on how to improve

their communication skills and ensure that their volunteers are grasping the concepts.

Final Report: ASER Pakistan 2013

Day 3 – October 3rd 2013 Village list was shared with the participants in the beginning of the third day. Participants

from all the districts of the province then shared their concerns/views regarding the village

lists.

Logistics, budget, and planning was discussed in the second half of the day. All the focal

persons and master trainers of each district were given the material for the district level

training session and survey.

Action Plan

An action plan for the ASER survey 2013 for all the districts of GB was prepared with the

help of the respective district managers. It was decided that the survey in all the districts of

Punjab will be completed by 27th

October, 2013.
