KEY PROCESSES:
Following are key processes of Taleemi Wazaif Programme:
i. Micro Supply Capacity Assessment (MSCA)
BISP collect the data on micro supply capacity assessment of all public schools from provincial education departments. The purpose of collecting MSCA data is to identify available capacity (available enrolment capacity, infrastructural conditions, accessibility, and catchment area) of both public and private schools before initiating registration and enrolment activities. Supply capacity assessment of private schools is being carried out on identification of mothers at the time of child enrolment.
ii. Social Mobilization:-
The purpose of social mobilization is to create awareness amongst BISP beneficiary families regarding importance of education. BISP field team visits different localities of respective districts for mobilizing beneficiaries to enroll their children in schools. Moreover, they also visit beneficiaries having non-complied children in their respective quarter to understand the reason for non-compliance and motivate them for achieving the required attendance. BISP field offices carry out mobilization activities at a massive scale during the period attendance compliance activity is not operationalized in the field due to school closure, completion of the assignment, and school vacation.
iii. Registration and Enrollment:-
Enrolment is one of the major activity of Taleemi Wazaif programme. After completion of the SCA, process of massive registration begins by covering all potential beneficiaries. The Taleemi Wazaif potential families are invited to registration centers/tehsil offices established close to their vicinities by conducting beneficiary communication at local level as well as via wide Public Information Campaign (PIC) (media campaign). Successful completion of registration process by Taleemi Wazaif potential family makes family and its eligible children beneficiaries of the programme.
The objective of the registration process is to identify the active BISP families with children (4-12 years) for primary education, children (8-18 years) for secondary education and children (13-22 years) for higher secondary education, and register them into the programme.
iv. Admission and Attendance Compliance
Benazir Taleemi Wazaif cash transfers are conditional on the beneficiary families complying with the admission and attendance conditions attached to the program. The objective of the compliance is to observe children’s co-responsibility compliance for entitling their respective families to receive cash benefits. However, in the event of non-compliance, cash transfer is stopped. Following are the basic objectives of the admission and attendance compliance:
- Identify beneficiary children who have complied with the defined co-responsibilities with respect to admission and attendance, and entitle them for cash transfers;
- Identify Taleemi Wazaif beneficiary children who have not complied with the co-responsibilities, trigger alerts in such cases, and apply the consequences of non-compliance accordingly;
- Suspend the beneficiary children from the program who have not complied with the attendance co-responsibility for three consecutive compliance quarters.
Case Management
Case Management process is very important activity of the programme. Beneficiaries will lodge different type of complaints through field offices and quick disposal of the complaints will not only improve the implementation efficiency of the programme but enhance the confidence of BISP beneficiaries to enroll their children in the schools. BISP field offices are mainly responsible for handling all the complaints.
