Another major milestone for
NIBAF Pakistan in collaboration with Karandaaz Pakistan, Punjab Education
Foundation and Bank of Punjab.
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.
The signing ceremony in
Lahore was graced by key dignitaries, Ms. Lubna Malik – Co-CEO, NIBAF Pakistan,
Mr. Sharjeel Murtaza – Chief Digital Officer, Karandaaz Pakistan, Mr. Khalid
Nazir Wattoo – Secretary, School Education Department, Government of Punjab,

Managing Director, Punjab Education Foundation, Mr. Shakeel Ahmad – Member,
Chief Minister’s Advisory Committee on Education and Mr. Raza Bashir – Chief of
Staff & Strategy, Group Head, The Bank of Punjab.
This program builds upon our
successful model implemented in Islamabad with the Ministry of Federal
Education and Professional Training and the Federal Directorate of Education,
further aligning with Pakistan’s National Financial Education Roadmap (2025–2029)
led by State Bank of Pakistan (SBP).
It also contributes toward
achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Quality Education, Decent
Work and Economic Growth and Reduced Inequalities.
Together, we’re shaping
financially informed and empowered youth for a better tomorrow!
