Baseline Assessment Study Report - District Jhang Page 3 of 34 Summary

Jhang District is a predominantly rural district, 23 % of its population lives in urban areas. It covers an area of 8,809 km².[3]. Jhang lies in the Division of Punjab province. Other than agriculture and agri-based industry, Jhang is famous for its wood-carving and furniture which is second to none in the world. It has a population of 2.83 million and a literacy rate of 37 percent. It has 4 Tehsils/sub-districts and 128 Union Councils. The total number of public and private schools is 4230. Out of which 912 or 22% are private. In spite of facilities being equal up to middle level, where they are higher for girls, the enrolment of girls continues to lag behind boys, considerably. This gap may be ascribed to missing facilities, lack of security, quality and poverty.

District Jhang - Gender Equality vs. Equity - the case of education provision and enrolment!

Table a: Institutional Provision Girls and Boys at Primary-Middle Levels Institutions Enrollment Level Boys Girls Mixed Total Male Female Total Pre-Primary /Primary* 1133 1063 628 2,824 175,455 130,777 306,232 Middle 124 133 22 279 42,689 20,928 63,617

Table b: Enrolment of Girls and Boys at Primary- Middle Levels Institutions Enrollment Level Boys Girls Mixed Male Female Pre-Primary /Primary* 40% 38% 22% 57% 43% Middle 44% 48% 8% 67% 33%

The data in tables 1 and 2 above highlights a very important issue regarding provision of education with respect to gender. Whilst the institutional provision at primary level (katchi to Grade 5) is almost equal in the enrolment of girls is 6% less than boys

The data is however, more stark and illustrative at the middle level (Grades VI-VIII), where the provision for girls’ institutions is higher than boys but enrolment is much lower at 33% for girls and 67% for boys. Thus, on the one hand, gender equality in provision is available, but gender equity is not which is based on: addressing issues such as, distance and security of travel to the school, security within the school, quality of education with respect to teacher provision, conducive learning environment with adequate facilities, positive attitudes and of course poverty. At the middle level in Punjab the government is providing stipends of Rs. 200 per month to each girl child and Jhang is one of the districts where this is present.

Another important point to consider from the data is that there are only 16 % enrolled girls in middle schools when compared to their enrolment at the primary level! This also reinforces the transition gaps from primary to middle level of education, which in turn is a disincentive for many households who do not see a future for girls’ education or for that matter of boys as primary graduates!

This is a critical policy and planning issue that needs to be addressed urgently

The 8, target Whole School Improvement Program (WSIP) project schools have been selected from 8 Union Council (UCs). These are in need of urgent support and will be provided both, infrastructure and soft interventions of construction, learning materials, strengthening of school councils and capacity building. There are 37 schools additionally selected in clusters for capacity building, community participation and health/hygiene support to mobilize maximulem number of girls for primary enrolment.

Baseline Assessment Study Report - District Jhang Page 4 of 34 The enrolment in 8 WSIP schools is 1181, with 91% girls, whilst the number of teachers is 23. In the 8 target schools enrolment will be increased during the project period by 15-20% (1350 -1425)

In the 39 cluster schools, with 95% girls, enrolment is targeted to increase by at least 10% (from 5423 to 6000) during the project period in primary grades.

The basic purpose of the baseline assessment is to ascertain what, and how well children learn in primary education from grades 1-5 in the subjects of Maths, English and Science. The first baseline was undertaken to establish benchmarks and indicators of improvement as well as strategies for supporting teacher education in target schools

The project has two categories of schools 1. WSIP Schools: with a comprehensive set of interventions i.e School Infrastructure, Furniture, TLM & WSIP for the capacity building, child friendly environment and gender parity 2. Cluster Schools : with only the soft elements or capacity building interventions to be made i.e Capacity building/training, child friendly environment and community participation.

Jhang District: In district Jhang the total number of students in the baseline is 470 (5 students from each class) for both categories of schools WSIP and Cluster Schools. Whilst all 8 WSIP schools were targeted for the baseline with a total of 220 children tested in all five grades, 25% or 9 (min) cluster schools were selected, from which 250 students were assessed. These categories are earmarked as experimental (WSIP) and control (cluster) schools throughout project’s lifeline (April 2008 - January 2011).

The targeted learning areas/subjects for baseline assessment are English; Math and G. Science. The tools of assessment in the subjects were developed by the ITA team according to the format of the Punjab Examination Commission (PEC) to ensure consistency of approach between the mainstream system of the public sector assessment system and the baselines developed for the project. The items were taken from the contents and chapters of the Punjab Text Book Board books provided by the government free of cost to all public sector schools. The tools were pre-tested and finalized.

Objectives of Baseline Assessment of Students’ Learning Level  To diagnose the learning baselines of grade I-V learners in  To identify problematic and weak areas of learning in core subjects  To relate students’ deficiencies to areas of learning support for teachers  To develop effective, practical and measureable strategies for improving learning outcomes sensitive to local contexts

A training session was held for the district assessment teams on the administration of assessment tests, students sampling methodology and paper checking in September 2008.

Learning level baselines conducted for grades 1-5 of 9 WSIP schools for 3 toughest subjects: English, Maths and Science revealed the following results: English Mathematics Science Average 38 48 40 42

The average students’ learning levels is 42 % which is above the 33% government pass rate. However averages mask variations as results, which are extremely poor for grades 4 and 5 students. The average overall result is better than other districts of the project. However, there is a need for focused improvement for grades 3-5, to at least achieve a target average of 50% in specific subjects. The learning environment and basic facilities need urgent support for better learning outcomes.

Baseline Assessment Study Report - District Jhang Page 5 of 34

The cumulative average results of district Jhang in these assessed areas are above the government passing score of 33% : English (38%), Math (48%) and G. Science (40%).

Results look better as averages and reveal a positive outcome for the lower primary classes 1-2 as compared to the upper primary classes 3-5. All items that relate to comprehension, vocabulary and application are weak all around. Class 1 Class 2 Class 3 Class 4 Class 5 Average English Math Avg English Math Science Avg English Math Science Avg English Math Science Avg English Math Science Avg English Math Science Avg 64 70 67 52 72 37 54 24 47 73 48 18 19 27 21 31 30 23 28 38 48 40 42

There is a severe need of improvement in all subjects particularly in grades 4 and 5.

The average pupil teacher ratio (PTR) of 8 target schools is 1:51, significantly above the government ratio of 1:40. In primary schools with 6 grades, multi-grade teaching is a reality with an average of only two to three teachers. Teachers are entitled to many official holidays as per government leave rules. Missing facilities in schools, compound the quality challenge. For an ideal of 48 classrooms in 8 schools, there are only 14 rooms available and 16 classes are held in verandahs in multi-grade setting. Washrooms, electricity, clean drinking water, furniture all need urgent attention for a conducive learning environment.

Baseline Assessment Study Report - District Jhang Page: 21/34 District Based Baseline Reports on Learning Levels: (Earlier a sub-district of Jhang District, recently elevated to district status on February, 2009)

Measuring for quality is the ultimate test of accountability of any intervention planned in education in developing and developed countries alike. Challenges for achieving ‘access’ are met not just through improved physical facilities but also through improved ‘quality’ in schools. Access with quality is the only measure for sustaining access or higher enrolments, for both female and male students. Quality, in turn is gauged through, what and how well children learn.

The project entitled “Enhancing Girls Enrolment in Remote Areas of Pakistan“, being implemented in four relatively poor performing disadvantaged districts of Punjab to enhance girls participation at the primary level, has developed rigorous baselines or benchmarks at the outset, against which to measure outputs and outcomes, including students learning levels in all primary grades (1-5).

Objective of the Survey

The class one to five students learning achievements baseline survey has been conducted in 8 WSIP Schools and 25% of cluster schools in district Jhang.

The purpose of the survey is to diagnose deficient areas in students’ knowledge that can be addressed through some strategic interventions which include subject based in-service training as well as site based support. To support this objective, students were tested in three major subjects (English, Mathmatics and G.science) taught at the primary level.

Sample Size

For grade one to five the sample size was 5 students from each of the five grades in each WSIP school (8), or a total of 200 students and a similar number from the area cluster schools (9) or 225 students. Whilst in WSIP target schools a comprehensive set of interventions will be focused, in cluster schools only the soft elements or capacity building interventions are to be made.

The total number of students in the baseline are, 425 approx, for both categories of schools.

Experimental and Control Schools – WSIP vs. Cluster schools

These two groups will serve also as the experimental and control groups where two different sets of treatments/interventions are being offered. The WSIP are the intensive experimental schools whilst the cluster schools are to be provided a limited set of interventions and attention.

It is hoped that during the course of the project two further assessments will be conducted to measure and report against the baseline results of 2008 at the project’s inception. The results will serve as key indicators for the project monitoring plan (PMP) for tracking project outputs and impact.

Baseline Assessment Study Report - District Jhang Page: 22/34 Assessment Tools:

Assessment tests were developed in the subjects of English, Math, and Science for students of class one to five. Students were assessed by giving the test for Science, Math and English covering the syllabus of previous grade i.e. a lesser grade than the actual as the test was taken soon after they were enrolled in a new class/grade in September 2008.

All efforts were made to ensure that the tools are consistent and comparable to the Punjab Examination Commission (PEC) pattern of papers and examination. A number of test items were taken from the questions given at the end of each lesson in the prescribed textbooks in actual use in the target schools by the Govt. of Punjab. Tests were based on the syllabus for grades one to five. Content of all tests was crossed checked with the Punjab Textbook Board books. Furthermore, the teaching methodology and types of questions given at the end of each chapter had to be considered while making the tests so that students were familiar with the nature of questions asked. The details of the three tests developed and on which students tested is given at the back as annexes.

Overall Achievement Scores by Grades and Subjects

Grade 1: In WSIP schools district Jhang, the students of grade 1 managed an average of 64% in English and 70% in mathematics. In both areas, the result appears to be good and it is more restricted to recall type of learning. Grade 2: The average result of English is 52%, and that of mathematics is 72% and G. Science is 37% respectively. It reveals that students are weakest in G. Science Grade 3: Results begin to slip from grade 3 onwards. The average result of English is 24%, of mathematics is 47% and G. Science 73%. English is the weakest whilst G. Science is very good. Grade 4 In all three grades the average mark is below the passing mark of 33%, illustrating that content mastery is very weak. In English it is 18%, mathematics is 19% and G. Science 27%. This is a cause for major concern highlighting that foundational work may not be up to the mark and hence comprehension and application of knowledge are both weak. Grade 5: The average result of English is 31%, of mathematics is 30% and G. Science is 23%. Results in all areas continue to be below average needing support at the earliest possible since the Punjab Examination Commission’s (PEC) central exams are drawing near in February 2009. . The average results of students’ learning levels at district level in the areas of math, English and Science are as follows:

English Mathematics Science Average 38 48 40 42

Whilst the average results cumulatively for all grades are 42%, we recognize that the average masks variations across the grades. From Grade III onwards the results drop drastically in English, Maths and even Science indicating that as students move from recall to comprehension to application the conceptual grasp becomes weaker and problematic. In grades IV and V the students failed in all the subjects, highlighting higher repeater rate or even drop out possibilities. This indicates an urgency of subject based support to teachers and students through a mix of both in-service and site based support strategies.

In the next sections a more detailed analysis of the subjects by grades and categories of questions is undertaken for District Jhang.

Student’s Achievement Elaborated by Grade and Subject

The raw scores (actual numbers) have been converted into percentages for each subjects. Then the percentages for each mark along the content areas etc, has been converted into the ‘poor, average, excellent’. For our purposes we have made three categories which are given below.

 Poor (0-39%)  Average/Satisfactory (40-69%)  Excellent (70-100%)

In-depth Analysis of Students’ Performance by Category of Questions

Class one

Students of class one were assessed in two categories in English, First category is the “Skill of writing small & capital letters and the second one is “Alphabets’ recognition. In both categories students performed well (68% and 60%).

In Mathematics, there were also two categories relating to students ability to do Counting and Number recognition. The results are average/satisfactory or 65% in counting whilst it is 85% in number recognition, rated as excellent

Baseline Assessment Study Report - District Jhang Page: 26/34 Class Two

Students have performed well in questions on number recognition and counting. When we go through the outcome of class two, we find that students are good in the ability to recognize numbers and counting. In the category relating to vocabulary, where students are required to write simple words e.g. parts of body is poor (36%) compared to questions that required the knowledge and understanding of alphabets (59%). Students’ scores are poor in the basic concepts of G.Science such as living and non-living things (36%), weather (31%) as shown in figure:

Class Three

Analysing the outcomesoutcomes of class three, we find that :

English: Students are weak in their ability to use word classes (15%).In the category relating to vocabulary, we find the same trend as in class two students scores are poor (27%) as well as in the “capability to translate simple sentences” (13%).

Maths: Students did not perform well in questions which required their understanding and application of their knowledge on the subject of number system e.g. place value, use of numbers in time, money , roman counting (27%).Students found difficulty in questions where they need to use their logistical ability such as multiplication (16%).

G. Science: Students performed well in G.science in both categories which were assessed mostly pertaining to recall. Students were able to understand the concepts of plants and animals better.

Baseline Assessment Study Report - District Jhang Page: 27/34 Class Four Class Four English: In the question that require students ability of applying their skills to make a correct sentence, the performance is poor (20%).Translation of a sentence is found to be very difficult by the majority of the students (6%). This shows the same trend as in class three. Students found the question on punctuation near to impossible with only 3% results, as it required understanding of the concept and then its application. Students have performed very poorly on questions of comprehension where they have to answer questions based on the topics integrated in their books (12%).

Maths: Students are not able to understand the concept of factorization (9%), decimal (15%), multiplication (20), division (16%) and measurement (12%).And almost no student can do geometry.

G. Science: In questions relating to the area of matter and continuity of life, students again performed well in remembering simple information. However, their performance is weak with regard to information about sound (6%), plants (21%) and understanding the concept of motion and force.

However, understanding the question relating to punctuation (4% only) and reading comprehension (24%) is found to be difficult by majority of the students. In questions that require applying their skills to make a correct translation of simple sentence students performance is poor (24%).

Maths: Responses vary in the questions relating to the math which mostly multiple choice questions. The highest scores are for addition (58%) and decimal (59%) and the lowest for fraction (11%) and geometry (13%).

General Science: Questions relating to plants, digestive system, environment, matter, force, heat, magnets and sounds which all tested their memory and were multiple choice questions & short answer questions are almost equally divided between average and poor.

Baseline Assessment Study Report - District Jhang Page: 28/34

Conclusion:

Low test scores in the targeted assessed areas reflect low levels of learning and comprehension. In general students remember facts and some information indicating rote memorization as the main learning-teaching methodology in use in classrooms.

In the English language even if students understand a question or a concept they are constrained by their limited vocabulary, writing expression and poor grammar especially from grade three to grade five. They have poor writing skills and expression. Majority of the students are unable to attempt the questions regarding simple translation and reading comprehension. In English poor understanding of grammatical principles and limited vocabulary hindered their ability to adequately express themselves.

In Mathematics, students lack conceptual clarity of division and in solving problems in multiplication. In algebra students have shown serious gaps in dealing with factorization almost in each class. Students also lack conceptual clarity of number system and their use in time, money word problem, place value etc. In geometry they have not progressed even in simple shapes and it is clearly evident that they have serious problems in geometrical portion especially students of grade four as well as grade five.

In Science it can be assumed that since most of the questions tested the memory skills of students Those who possessed these skills performed better than those students who might have done better on other type of questions. Students performed poorly in questions testing their conceptual knowledge and its application in G.science such as heat, energy, matter, sound and plants as well. It is also evident that they are not familiar with the pattern of examination because most of the students didn’t attempt short question answers. In Science it can be assumed that since most of the questions tested the memory skills of students and students performed well as compared to English and math which require their ability to understand and applying their knowledge.

In short there is an intense need of improvement in all assessed learning areas.

Baseline Assessment Study Report - District Jhang Page: 31/34 Analysis of Learning Environment Evaluation Ranking: Excellent: 5, Good: 4, Satisfactory: 3, Below Standards: 2, Need more essential improvement: 1

In district Jhang, Classrooms were observed for the assessment of learning Environment in eight WSIP schools and 25% of cluster schools. Classroom is the place and sitting where learning occurs. The basic objective of this assessment was to diagnose the condition of the specific areas which affects the students learning related to school and classroom environment. The basic areas which were assessed regarding classroom & learning environment were as follow: 1. Cleanliness of classroom 2. Classroom management 3. Repair and maintained issues 4. Children display in classroom 5. Lesson Preparation 6. Use of teaching aids 7. Quality of assessment 8. Positive attitude of teacher toward students 9. Use of interactive teaching methods 10. Effective use of time table 11. Use of library Cleanliness of classroom: The situation of cleanliness in classrooms in all WSIP schools is below standard. The condition is satisfactory in GGES Mouza jhanb; GGPS Noor pur & GGPS Chak 126 colony. Classroom management: Classrooms are not well managed in all WSIP Schools; classroom management is below standards in GGPS Chak 133, GGPS Kot Muhammad Yar and GGPS Norangwala. Repair and maintenance: There is an intense need of repair in GGES Hersa Sheikh, GGPS Chak 133, GGES Mouza Jhanb, GGPS Chak 126 Colony and GGPS Norangwala. Children display in classroom: According to classroom observation, there were no displays prepared by children in classrooms such as Charts, Modules etc in all WSIP schools in Jhang except for GGES Mouza Jhanb; GGPS Noor pur.The condition is below standard. Lesson Preparation: Lessons were prepared in schools according to classroom observations. In all WSIP schools in Jhang the situation regarding lesson preparation is satisfactory. Use of teaching aids: In all WSIP schools Jhang, teachers are not using teaching aids such as board, chalk, charts for different activities etc to improve their teaching style and better understanding for students. The condition is below standards in all schools except GGPS Chak 133 where it’s found to be satisfactory. Quality of assessment: In GGPS Chak 133and GGPS Norangwala, teachers were not using any kind of worksheets or other tools for assessment of students learning and their knowledge regarding subject.Quality of assessment were found to be below standards in schools. Positive attitude of teacher toward students: Again in GGPS Chak 133and GGPS Norangwala, teachers attitude are not so much satisfactory towards slow learners. There is a need of improvement in teacher’s attitude towards students for the better learning environment.

Use of interactive teaching methods: Baseline Assessment Study Report - District Jhang Page: 32/34 Teachers are not using interactive teaching methods especially in GGES Hersa Sheikh and GGPS Norangwala.Teachers are using the traditional teaching methods and not trying to use different activities for making the lesson effective.

Effective use of time table: Time tables were displayed in few schools but mostly teachers were not using the time table for their periods and subjects especially in GGES Hersa Sheikh, GGPS Chak 133, GGPS Kot Muhammad Yar and GGPS Norangwala. The situation regarding time table is not satisfactory.

Use of library & Supplementary Books: It was assessed that in all WSIP schools in Jhang, there was no use of library in schools. There is no space for library and evidence of books for teachers and students. The situation is quite grim in this respect and needs urgent support.

The status report of learning environment of all WSIP schools in Jhang shows that the conditions of classroom/learning environment are below standards and not satisfactory. Especially the condition is very poor in GGPS 133, GGPS Kot Muhammad Yar and GGPS Norangwala. There is an intense need of improvement in all assessed areas. Assessment result shows that teachers need help and training on how they can manage their classroom environment for effective learning and how they improve classroom sitting arrangements, their teaching style, and student’s participation in class and their displays in classroom.

Teachers also need support ensuring content capability for higher grades, matching activities, lesson plans with subject competencies. This will help them relate and connect their topics with different areas of learning for students’ better understanding. Especially teachers must be assisted on students’ assessment methods/options and making of relevant worksheets for assessments. Teachers also need to be trained on the effective use of supplementary books through enrichment activities (reading clubs, use of dictionary, washing lines and art., etc.)
