The Government of Pakistan has taken a major step to help low-income families continue their children’s education by increasing the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif stipends in 2025. This increase aims to reduce school dropouts, especially among girls, and ease the burden of rising educational costs. If your child is not yet registered or you want to know about the latest procedure and payment updates, this article will guide you through everything in a simple and clear way.
Due to high inflation and rising school expenses like uniforms, books, transport, and exam fees, the government has increased the quarterly education stipends for all eligible students starting from June 2025 (Phase 3). This increase is designed to help families manage school-related expenses and encourage them to keep their children especially daughters in school.
