2023 ASER Survey
The 2023 ASER (Annual Status of Education Report) survey, conducted by the Pratham Education Foundation, is a comprehensive study focusing on the educational status and learning levels of children in rural India, particularly targeting the youth aged 14-18. The survey’s primary objectives include assessing students’ enrollment status, their proficiency in reading and mathematics, and their digital skills. Key findings include a notable gap in foundational literacy and numeracy skills among rural youth, with a significant percentage struggling with basic English and math. The report serves as a crucial tool for government policy formulation and highlights the need for targeted educational initiatives to bridge the skill gap.
