The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) is a nationwide survey conducted in India to assess the quality of education in rural areas. It focuses on the learning outcomes of children aged 3 to 16 years, evaluating their reading and arithmetic skills. The report is published annually and provides valuable insights into the state of education, helping policymakers and educators identify areas for improvement. ASER is unique because it relies on a community-based approach, involving local volunteers to collect data. This grassroots method ensures that the findings reflect the real experiences of children and schools, making it a crucial tool for understanding and enhancing the educational landscape in India.
