📚 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
📚 Key Point: The policy is based on percentage attendance per quarter, not a fixed number of absence days. Students can miss multiple days as long as they maintain 70% overall attendance.
