About
ASER
The thing
that I would like to say is on the basic design
on ASER. The whole idea was we use a common set
of tools and we use a common sampling strategy.
But all these districts partners do the actual implementation
at a district level. So we believe that it a useful
and a very desirable aspect of ASER that it gets
done by many different people.
But we all follow the common thing as far
as comparability is possible.
As a district
level because of constrains level of time and
resources we have not being able to work consistently
with districts partners over these four years
to build up their capacity. This is something
that we would like to do.
This
year we have data already in for 564 districts
and a few more will come in. We estimate that
there are about 575 or so rural districts and
I think we will reach probably 570 this year.
