@_ketanverma_ from @palnetworkHQ discusses the need to measure learning early so that corrective measures can be implemented. He mentions how robust and regular data on learning outcomes are needed over time and across countries to inform #evidence on #SDG4
#ASERSouthAsia

#ICAN2020 was conducted in 13 countries in 60 randomly sampled rural communities in 1 district per country.
#ASERSouthAsia

"#SDG4 is targeted to ALL children.
Because #ICAN was administered in households, it assessed all children in the target age group of 5-16 years, irrespective of enrolment status" says @_ketanverma_ from @palnetworkHQ

"As the clock ticks to 2030, we need less top-down and more granular measurements of foundational learning that can lead to rapid corrective action.
#ICAN2020 offers us this opportunity" says @_ketanverma_ from @palnetworkHQ at #ASERSouthAsia's live webinar.
