HSBC's Education Forum : Rukmini Banerji , Director - Programs, Pratham Go To Education Home Page

Every year we try to improve our the ASER process.

There are two things, every year we have some common things and some additions
, so that there is consistency and comparability.

Like last year we did an English test. We did a test of children’s comprehension. This year we haven’t done that but we have collected information about households. Whether they live in a Pukka house or Kachha household, whether they have livestock or phone.


We have done lot of things to improve the process. This year, four randomly selected villages in all districts have been rechecked. We extended our market trainers training. This year master trainers had four or five days in each state being trained in how to train.
