📚 What Does the Actual BISP Attendance Policy Say?
Complete breakdown of the authentic attendance policy under BISP
| Policy Component | Official Requirements | Calculation Method | Example Scenario |
|---|---|---|---|
|
📅 Monitoring Period
Quarterly Assessment
|
Student attendance is monitored quarterly (every 3 months).
Not daily or weekly monitoring – only quarterly evaluation. |
Every 3 Months
|
Jan-Mar, Apr-Jun, Jul-Sep, Oct-Dec
|
|
📊 Attendance Threshold
70% Requirement
|
To remain eligible for the stipend, a child must be present for at least 70% of the total school days during each quarter.
This is the minimum attendance percentage required. |
70% Minimum
|
7 out of 10 days
|
|
⚠️ Consequence
Below 70% Impact
|
If the student’s attendance falls below 70%, the stipend for that quarter may not be issued.
Only affects that specific quarter, not permanent suspension. |
Quarterly Impact
|
That Quarter Only
|
|
🧮 Practical Example
Real Calculation
|
Example: If a school has 60 days in a 3-month period, a student must attend at least 42 days to qualify.
This means a student could miss up to 18 days and still remain eligible for the Taleemi Wazaif stipend.
|
42 out of 60 days
|
Up to 18 days absence allowed
