This blog provides information about the situation of education in Pakistan. The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) research team at Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi (ITA) launched a five-year longitudinal study to assess the delivery of foundational learning and political accountability across eight diverse constituencies in Punjab, Sindh, Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, and Balochistan.
“Infrastructure assessments revealed that while most schools had access to electricity, many lacked digital learning facilities such as computer labs and internet connectivity. Inclusive infrastructure—such as ramps and accessible toilets—was limited, highlighting an area for focused attention on understanding of inclusion/disability and support in schools. Teacher attendance and qualifications also varied, underscoring the importance of continuous professional development and administrative support. School governance bodies, where functional, were active in select areas, suggesting the potential for strengthening community engagement in school management.”
