Patrick - thanks for the interest.
To answer your question on assessment: In each of the reform programs an independent assessment agency ("Punjab Examination Commission" in Punjab and "Provincial Education Assessment Center" in Sindh) has been set up to administer provincal representative assessments. Part of their change is to ensure the integrity of the examinations via proper security of testing materials, invigilation, etc. These data will be extremely valuable to evaluate performance and learning quality.
As for the enrollment goals: The bank projects and government refrom programs objectives relating to primary net enrollment rates are the same: to increase from a baseline of 62% to 66% by the completion in Punjab and from 50.3% to 55.6% in Sindh.
