ASER Pakistan Learning Recovery Fund

COVID-19 school closures caused an estimated 18-month learning setback for Pakistani children. Post-pandemic return-to-school data shows that 63% of Grade 5 students cannot read a Grade 2 text — worse than pre-COVID baselines.

A nationally representative learning assessment across 140 districts, followed by a district-level remediation playbook co-designed with provincial education departments. Open-source diagnostic tools made available to all provincial governments.

Data covering 1.2 million children; remediation playbooks targeting 480,000 learning-deficit children in priority districts.
