The Benazir Income Support Programme (BISP) continues to strengthen education support through the Waseela-e-Taleem Program in 2026. This initiative provides conditional cash stipends to children of low-income families so they can stay enrolled in school and complete their education.
Designed as part of Pakistan’s social protection network, the program links financial assistance with school attendance, ensuring long-term improvement in literacy and enrollment rates.
What Is the Waseela-e-Taleem Program?
Waseela-e-Taleem is an education-focused initiative under BISP that supports children of families already receiving assistance through the Ehsaas Program framework.
Parents receive additional stipends when their children:
- Enroll in primary, secondary, or higher secondary school
- Maintain at least 70% attendance
- Remain registered in the National Socio-Economic Registry (NSER) database
The stipend encourages families to prioritize education despite financial challenges.
Stipend Amount & Payment Structure (2026 Update)
Under the revised 2026 structure:
- Primary-level children receive quarterly payments
- Higher stipends are allocated for secondary education
- Girls receive slightly higher incentives to reduce dropout rates
Payments are transferred alongside regular BISP assistance and can be verified via the 8171 Web Portal.

To qualify:
- The family must be an active BISP beneficiary
