Introduction to Benazir Taleemi Wazaif Program

The Benazir Taleemi Wazaif Program is designed to encourage school enrollment and attendance among children aged 4 to 22 years from financially disadvantaged families. By providing financial assistance, the program aims to reduce dropout rates and promote educational attainment across Pakistan.

Why is the Double Payment Being Released?

In the previous payment cycle, many families experienced delays in receiving their stipends due to technical issues and verification delays. To compensate for these delays and support the affected families, BISP has announced a double payment for March 2025. This initiative ensures that beneficiaries receive the financial support necessary to continue their children’s education without interruption.
