What is the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif Program?
The Benazir Taleemi Wazaif is an education stipend program started under the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP) to help children from low-income families in Pakistan continue their education. It aims to reduce school dropouts and support parents in paying for expenses like uniforms, school fees, and books.
Only families already registered with BISP 8171 can receive these stipends. Students in primary, secondary, and higher secondary classes are eligible. To promote girls’ education, the amount for girls is higher than for boys, benefiting families in both rural and urban areas.
