<p>The independent evaluations were conducted by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale
Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), the delivery agency of the German Federal Ministry for Economic
Cooperation and Development, as part of their regular reporting to the National Education
Development Partners Group (NEDPG) in Pakistan.</p><p>The NEDPG, which consists of
both bilateral and multilateral donors, including the UK, UNESCO, UNICEF, The World
Bank, the US, Germany and Australia, has prioritised scrutiny of the curriculum in
its dialogue with the government of Pakistan. There is an implicit set of internationally
agreed professional norms and standards for all aspects of education, set through
the UNESCO Annual Global Monitoring Reports against which conclusions can be drawn.</p><p>While
GIZ has led evaluation on behalf of the Partners Group, other members carry out reviews
of the education sector, including curriculum quality, and these are pooled and used
by all. In addition, DFID staff scrutinise the curriculum and its implementation as
part of regular monitoring of the Punjab and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa education programmes.</p>
