How do I obtain a pooled mean standard error?

Suppose we wish to pool over each of K people (or groups) with the k-th individual having variance, $$\mbox{V}_text{k}$$ and mean $$\mbox{m}_text{k}$$ based on a sample of size $$\mbox{n}_text{k}$$.

$$\mbox{Pooled Variance V = } \frac{\sum_text{k} (n_text{k}-1) \mbox{V}_text{k}}{\sum_text{k}(n_text{k} -1)} $$

$$\mbox{Pooled Mean Standard Error = } \frac{\mbox{V}}{\sum_text{k}n_text{k}} $$
