The open educational instruments were designed to be used in conjunction with the learning assessments, to understand a range of household, child and school characteristics, with children between 8-to-12 years of age in Pakistan (province of Punjab) and India (state of Haryana). Learning outcomes were measured using the Annual Status of Education Report (ASER) and Young Lives numeracy and literacy tests, non-verbal ability (Ravens Coloured Progressive Matrices; Raven, 1965), peer-relationships and academic self-assessment (Young Lives, 2017), self-perceived self-esteem and peer-relations (Harter and Pike, 1984).
Household survey
The Household survey was designed to give a background of each child and other household members. The survey covers background on the household’s assets, education and employment status, religion, caste, and mother’s literacy level, mother’s beliefs and perceptions towards schooling for children from different backgrounds, child’s school history, child’s time spent working, household spending on the child’s education, the child’s functioning abilities (using the child functioning questions developed by the Washington Group on Disability Statistics).
