ASER reported a learning crisis within schools in Punjab.

The program maintains that education remains free for students, with the government paying operators based on verified enrollment and other conditions.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The PSRP model is publicly financed but privately managed, affecting the structure of public service delivery. The program faces criticism due to deep-rooted weaknesses, including low or zero enrollment in some schools and thousands of children aged five to sixteen being out of school in the province.
