What is the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif Program?
The Benazir Taleemi Wazaif Program is a Conditional Cash Transfer (CCT) scheme that offers quarterly stipends to children of BISP-registered families to support their education from primary to higher secondary levels. Launched to combat poverty and encourage education, it ensures that financial constraints do not prevent children from attending school. The program targets children aged 4 to 22 years and provides additional incentives, such as a graduation bonus, to encourage continued education.
Eligibility Criteria
To qualify for the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif Program, families and children must meet specific conditions:
- BISP Kafalat Registration: The child’s mother or guardian must be an active beneficiary of the BISP Kafalat Program, which provides quarterly cash assistance to low-income families.
- Poverty Score: The household must have a Poverty Means Test (PMT) score below 32, as determined by the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) survey.
- Child’s Age and Enrollment:
- Primary Education: Children aged 4–12 years, enrolled in a recognized school.
- Secondary Education: Children aged 8–18 years, enrolled in grades 6–10.
- Higher Secondary Education: Children aged 10–22 years, enrolled in grades 11–12.
- School Attendance: Children must maintain at least 70% attendance in school, verified by school authorities.
- Targeted Beneficiaries: The program prioritizes orphans, children from very poor families, and those living below the poverty line.
Additional Notes
- Families not registered with BISP Kafalat must first enroll in that program to become eligible for Taleemi Wazaif.
- Children already receiving other government scholarships may not qualify to avoid duplication of benefits.
