What Is the Taleemi Wazaif Program?
The Taleemi Wazaif Program is a part of the Benazir Income Support Program (BISP). It provides quarterly cash stipends to the children of women who are already receiving financial help under the Benazir Kafalat Program. The main aim of this initiative is to reduce the school dropout rate and help poor families afford their children’s education.
This program supports children from primary to higher secondary levels. For the year 2025, the stipends have been increased to better match the rising costs of living and education. Specifically, the stipend for girls in higher secondary school has increased from Rs. 4,500 to Rs. 5,000 per quarter. This change reflects the government’s commitment to empowering female students and promoting education across Pakistan.
Updated Stipend Rates (2025)
Here’s a comparison between the old and new quarterly payments:
| Education Level | Girls (Old) | Girls (New) | Boys (Old) | Boys (New) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Primary | Rs. 2,500 | Rs. 3,000 | Rs. 2,000 | Rs. 2,500 |
| Secondary | Rs. 3,500 | Rs. 4,000 | Rs. 3,000 | Rs. 3,500 |
| Higher Secondary | Rs. 4,500 | Rs. 5,000 | Rs. 4,000 | Rs. 4,500 |
As you can see, both boys and girls are seeing an increase, but female students receive a slightly higher amount to encourage their continued education.
When Will the New Payments Start?
The increased stipends will begin with the payments for the January to March 2025 quarter. Beneficiaries will receive this updated amount along with their regular disbursements, so there is no need for a separate application if your child is already enrolled in the program.
