| description | Pakistan is a prime example of low learning levels for primary school children (Andrabi et al., 2007). A recent study found that only 50 percent of children in Grade 5 could fill in a missing letter in a four-letter word accompanied by a picture, and only 54 percent could perform simple division (Andrabi et al., 2012). Learning levels are especially low in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa (KP) province. While in neighbouring Punjab province, 97 percent of Grade 4 math students in rural primary schools can correctly answer a firstgrade question regarding which of 2 boxes has more objects in it, in study districts in KP, that share was just 43 percent. |
