ASER (Annual Status of Education Report)

The ASER (Annual Status of Education Report) is a survey conducted yearly in India to assess children’s learning levels in rural and disadvantaged areas. It tests basic skills in reading, arithmetic, and language for children aged 3 to 16. By collecting this data, ASER helps identify gaps in education, inform policymakers, and improve teaching methods. The report focuses on whether children can read simple words, do basic math, and attend school regularly, providing a clear snapshot of progress and challenges in the country’s education system.
