The numeracy assessment (earlier called ICAN) is baptized globally as Early Language & Literacy and Numeracy Assessment (ELANA), tested in 12 other countries along with Pakistan. Developed and implemented by Pal Network member countries, ELANA is a cross national comparative assessment tool with globally agreed proficiencies and descriptors in numeracy covering three continents. It is an assessment of foundational numeracy using common items and provides data on early grade/lower primary learning. It further highlights gaps in foundational numeracy even for older children. Assessment domains were decided based on discussions with international assessment stakeholders and global partners.
