Posted 8 hours ago by Raza Rizvi

The Balochistan government has announced to launch a stipend program for female students of grades 6 to 12.
Finance Secretary, Noor ul Haq Baloch, said that up to Rs. 1,000 per month will be provided to boost the literacy rate among female students.

Baloch said that 110,000 girls are currently studying in these grades in the province, and hoped that the stipend scheme will double the enrollment in less than a year.

Under the proposed program, the Balochistan government will be paying Rs. 500 to every girl at the lower level, Rs. 800 in secondary school and Rs. 1000 at the intermediate level.

The Finance Secretary said that Rs. 1.2 billion will be spent on this program, adding that the amount will be directly transferred to students’ bank accounts.

Baloch noted that the scheme has been forwarded to the provincial cabinet for review. If approved, it will be implemented from January 1, 2021.

Waseela Taleem program: ‘Stipend amount increased for deserving students’
Web Desk On Nov 12, 2020


ISLAMABAD: Special Assistant to Prime Minister on Poverty Alleviation Dr Sania Nishtar said on Thursday that stipend amount for deserving students has been increased under Waseela Taleem program, whereas, the scope of the project is being expanded to the entire country, ARY News reported.

Dr Sania Nishtar, while addressing a press conference in Islamabad today, said that boys will be given a quarterly stipend of Rs1,500 and Rs2,000 to girls under the Waseela Taleem program that is aiming to encourage poor families to send their children aged 4 to 12 to schools.

The special assistant detailed that a total of Rs80 billion will be spent on the education program in the next four years.
In order to maintain accuracy and transparency, the government adopted digital procedures for scrutinising the deserving persons following the pattern of other programs of Ehsaas. She said that the concerned authorities contact the National Database & Registration Authority (NADRA) to verify the deserving woman’s identity card.

She said that Prime Minister Imran Khan will be given a detailed briefing on the program during his visit to Balochistan on Friday (tomorrow). Two million children have been registered with the program which will be expanded to five million, whereas, all districts of Balochistan are also included in it, she added.

Dr Nishtar said that the new phase of Waseela Taleem program was initiated on Wednesday which was previously being run by a non-governmental organisation (NGO). She said that the federal government will not completely rely on NGOs and took steps for ending corruption.

Sounds like a good idea on paper, but actually it's got a lot of risk of corruption.

This should be linked to;

1. Biometric registration of kids on a daily basis.
2. end of year exams, monitored by a neutral body.

If your kid passes 30% of the paper, you get the money for the attendance, if not - then no money. I think 30% is reasonably low for even the stupid students to pass, assuming they actually attended. Even then it's provincial funds, so it's not like anyone monitoring will be outside of government control.

Government suffers from poor women representation herself and financial mismanagement.
