  1. ASER PAKISTAN • ASER - The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) is a survey of the quality of education. ASER seeks to fill a gap in educational data by looking to provide a reliable set of data at the national level, that is comprehensive and, at the same time, easy to understand. The survey’s stated 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.

  2. Scale & Scope of Survey Coverage : In all five provinces i.e. in Sindh, Balochistan, Punjab, PakhtonKhawa, GilgitBaltistan, FATA and AJK. Only rural areas will be sampled. Phase I : Year I 2010 – 30 districts across Pakistan Phase II: Year II 2011 – 70 districts across Pakistan Phase III : Years III, IV , V all districts across Pakistan (138 districts) Sample: 600 households per district. Two-stage sample, stratified in the first stage. Obtained by selecting 30 villages per district & 20 households per village.   Villages will be selected randomly using the village directory of the latest Census. The Probability Proportional to Size Sampling (PPS) technique will be adopted as an appropriate one when the sampling units are of different sizes. Focus on nuances between public and private . In each village profile of 1 govt. and 1 private school collected and gender
