We are proud to be part of a transformative initiative to roll out financial literacy across 1,000 Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) schools, reaching over 100,000 students in the pilot phase.
This impactful partnership with Karandaaz Pakistan, Punjab Education Foundation (PEF), and the Bank of Punjab (BoP) aims to embed essential financial knowledge such as earning, saving, budgeting, financial planning, inflation and digital banking into the learning experience of students across PEF schools in Punjab.
NIBAF Pakistan will lead the training of PEF Master Trainers and nearly 2,000 teachers, equipping them to deliver engaging, weekly financial literacy sessions.
