While the ASER survey provides rapid measurements of key indicators of participation and outcomes across the country, ASER Centre’s Research Unit designs and implements research projects, either independently or in collaboration with external organisations, that go deeper into different aspects of children’s educational trajectories, aiming to unpack and explain participation and outcomes at different stages ranging from pre-primary school for young children to vocational skilling for older adolescents and adults.

The Assessment Unit is the hub for creating assessment tools for all the projects undertaken by ASER Centre. From regional projects to international collaborations, the unit designs, contextualises, and develops assessment tools to measure a range of outcomes in education.
