Enrolment Reopens for New and Previously Ineligible School Children

Newly admitted and previously ineligible school children are announced by the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif program to officially reopen across Pakistan for enrollment. This new phase will ensure every deserving student who could not register in previous rounds gets their share of educational stipends. All the families of BISP Kafaalat beneficiaries are hereby invited to register their children so that they may continue receiving or start receiving the education stipend. The reopening is a signpost of the government’s commitment to education promotion and dropout rate minimization.

Purpose Behind the New Enrollment Drive

• The new enrollment drive aims to include all children who were previously left out of the Benazir Taleemi Wazaif program because of incomplete data, expired CNICs, or late school admissions. It will also include newly admitted students’ registrations whose parents are active BISP Kafaalat beneficiaries.
• Through this drive, the government wants to widen the educational net so that stipends reach every poor household on an equal basis and ensure regular attendance of children in schools.

Who Is Eligible Under the New Enrollment Policy?

• Children of active BISP Kafaalat beneficiaries can now register — only those whose mothers are enrolled in the Benazir Income Support Programme are eligible.
• Previously ineligible children — those excluded earlier due to missing documents, incorrect age, or incomplete NSER data — are now eligible after corrections.
• Newly admitted students — children who recently joined school and were not registered in earlier phases — can now be enrolled in the program.
• Learners fulfilling age and class conditions – The child should be of the prescribed age for primary, secondary, or higher secondary classes.
• Regular school goers – To remain eligible, regularity in attendance as per the minimum set by BISP has to be maintained.

Updated Age Criteria According to Education Level

The Benazir Taleemi Wazaif program has prescribed different age limits for children at various education levels to exercise a principle of equity in appropriate enrollment. The revised age limits are as follows:

• Primary Level (Class 1–5): Children from 4 years to 12 years of age.
• Secondary Level (Class 6–10): Children from 8 years to 18 years of age.
• Higher Secondary Level (Class 11–12): Students from 13 years to 22 years of age.
