CHINIOT: The Punjab government plans to enhance the annual Non-Salary Budget (NSB) for schools from Rs16 billion to over Rs20 billion after revision of existing formula indicators.

Chairing a meeting, School Education Department Project Management and Implementation Unit (PMIU) Programme Officer Syed Azeem Naqvi said the department was planning to enhance the non-salary funds provided to public sector schools next year to provide missing facilities, improve infrastructure and ensure repair and maintenance of almost 38,000 schools in the province.

He said Punjab School Education Secretary Mudassar Riaz Malik had directed PMIU officers to visit schools and district education authorities to assess their needs and allocate the funds equitably. The funds will be enhanced for each school, keeping in view its condition and needs.
