An assessment for measuring foundational numeracy among children with sensory impairments has revealed that kids with hearing impairments enrolled in various schools across Pakistan scored low compared to their visually impaired peers.
The findings were disclosed by Sightsavers Country Director Munnaza Gillani. The pilot project was conducted by Idara-e-Taleem-o-Aagahi, in collaboration with Sightsavers and PAL Network.
The International Common Assessment for Numeracy (ICAN), available in 11 languages, is a collaborative effort by member countries under the PAL Network to provide a comparable, low-cost, and simple-to-use assessment for measuring foundational numeracy. Tailored to the realities of the Global South, ICAN is an accessible tool, designed to measure and monitor, progress on SDG 4.1.1 (a).
