Children from government schools studying in Std. III, Std. V and Std. VIII can read a Std. II level text better than their counterparts in private schools.
The 13th Annual Status Education Report (ASER-2018) of Karnataka State was released recently in Mysuru by Ashvini Ranjan, Managing Trustee, Pratham Mysore. Facilitated by Pratham, ASER is carried out by volunteers from local partner organisations in each rural district. Every year, ASER finds out whether children in rural India go to school, whether they can read simple text and whether they can do basic arithmetic.
