The Government of Pakistan has taken another big step to promote education among low-income families by increasing the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif (Student Stipend) under the BISP program. Starting from January 2025, both boys and girls who are enrolled in school and whose mothers are part of the Benazir Kafalat Program will receive higher monthly stipends.
This update is part of Pakistan’s mission to reduce school dropouts and help families bear the cost of education—especially for girls who are often left behind.
