Abstract: ASAR report has made a great contribution to the discussions on our primary education policy. On a few parameters, these surveys show that the overall learning levels have deteriorated over the years. It shifts the focus from measuring how much the government is spending on education to whether children are learning. It also highlights the need to look at learning outcomes and not just at input norms such as availability of classrooms, teachers etc. The ASER survey also points out some fundamental problems with our public discourse.
