The Punjab Education Foundation (PEF) has officially confirmed a Punjab school fee increase, revising the per-child monthly fee structure for its partner schools. This adjustment will take effect from September 2025 and applies to schools operating under the Foundation-Assisted Schools (FAS), Education Voucher Scheme (EVS), and New School Program (NSP).
Reason for the Fee Increase
According to PEF’s circular, the revision was necessary due to rising inflation and operational costs, such as teacher salaries and classroom management. The increase is aimed at helping schools maintain educational quality while ensuring financial stability.
Revised Monthly Fee Structure
| Class Level | New Monthly Fee |
|---|---|
| Nursery to Class II | Rs. 800 |
| Class III to V | Rs. 900 |
| Class VI to VIII | Rs. 1,100 |
| Class IX to X (Arts Group) | Rs. 1,400 |
| Class IX to X (Science Group) | Rs. 1,800 |
| Intermediate (Arts Group) | Rs. 2,000 |
| Intermediate (Science Group) | Rs. 2,200 |
Teacher Honorariums and Quality Focus
PEF has directed all partner schools to adjust teacher honorariums in line with the revised fees. The foundation emphasized that this change is designed to address the financial strain schools are facing, while ensuring that both staff and students continue to benefit from quality education.
Final Outlook
With the newly announced Punjab school fee increase, PEF expects its network of schools to achieve better financial sustainability while continuing to provide free or subsidized education to thousands of low-income families across the province.
