Just 34 per cent class-3 children in rural Punjab can read the basic class-2 level text, but at least 51% of them can do at least subtraction, according to the findings of the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) 2024 for Rural India released by Pratham Foundation, Tuesday.
The survey on learning levels of children in rural Punjab has found that while there has been a significant improvement in solving arithmetic problems, the reading abilities still remain a cause of concern. However, Punjab has performed better than the national average in almost all parameters.
