LAHORE DESPITE the recent focus of the provincial government on enrolment drive as rhetoric on Article 25 A, 16 percent of Punjab’s children aged 6-16 are still out of school, according to the Annual Status of Education Report-ASER 2013 National survey.
The remaining 84 percent that are enroled in the 6-16 age are not learning much either. According to a press release, these findings were made public in the provincial launch of Pakistan’s largest-annual citizen-led household based ASER Survey 2013 – the fifth ASER Survey report in a row – launched here on Monday. The ASER 2013 survey has been conducted by 10,000 volunteers managed by Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi (ITA) along with many key civil society /semi-autonomous organisations that include the National Commission for Human Development (NCHD), Sindh Education Foundation (SEF), Democratic Commission for Human Development (DCHD), HANDS, NRSP and several civil society organisations across Pakistan.
