Portfolio
School Non-Salary Budget
Teachers' Recruitment
The Government of Punjab is committed to providing adequate non-salary recurrent allocations to schools as part of its
School Non­Salary Budget effort to improve school quality and performance. In order to achieve this, PMIU-PESRP has developed a Need-Based
Non-Salary School-Speci c Budgeting Formula for nine selected districts of Punjab (one district from each division) for
the nancial year 2013-14. The Formula is based on the international best practices and applicable to Punjab milieu,
Improvers Programme after careful eld study and discussions with various stakeholders. The Formula works by allocating weights to different
school types, number of students and several other relevant factors.

Under the old mechanism of nancing, the Non-salary budget component has been calculated through incremental
methods and based on bargaining. Historically, the allocation of budget has been very low and unpredictable. The
execution of budget was very irregular and discretionary. The outcome was that merely 3% of total budget has been
allocated to non salary component over the years, which is a lot less than globally accepted standard of allocating
15%-25% non salary budget component.
Under the new nancing mechanism, the Non-salary budget component ceiling is xed at 15%. Budgeting under the
NSB is progressive and formula based linked with student enrolment. The new NSB formula is need based therefore the
allocation of funds will be very predictable and consistent. Decentralisation of the administrative and nancial
management powers to the schools ensures that the execution of budget will be school based and involves a great deal
of participation by the Schools Councils. The school administrations are expected to utilize these funds for providing
functional facilities, xed school expenditures, basic student entitlements and teacher and student furniture needs. This
formula based funding is aimed to equip schools with the ability to manage their resources based on their speci c
needs. At the same time, it can give the provincial/district governments tools with which they can structure nance rules
and accountability mechanisms for managing incentives.

Based on the agreed NSB funding formula, Government of Punjab has approved Rs. 3.5 billion as a block allocation of
Non-Salary Budget (NSB) of schools in nine pilot districts(one from each division of Punjab), in the budgetary provisions
of PMIU-PESRP or Financial Year 2013-14. Rs. 3,400 million has been allocated in nine pilot districts For the FY2013-14
under NSB. Funding mechanism as compared to the Rs. 1,015.28 million for FY 2011-12 under the old method.

The allocation of funds will be tied with two sets of deliverables i.e. short-term and long- term. The short-term targets
will be due at the end of rst year. The short-term targets are; Cleanliness 100%, teacher attendance 90%, ctionalization
of existing facilities 100%, furniture repair 100% and purchase of one fourth of the de cient furniture. The long term
deliverable will link the incentive with at least 20% increase in the student retention after three years of implementation
of the NSB. Progress on both short-term and long-term indicators will be monitored by the PMIU-PESRP through its
monitoring and evaluation wing. External audit will be conducted by the Auditor General of Pakistan.

M/S Ernst and Young have been engaged for capacity building of the schoolcouncils and head teachers regarding the
NSB implementation and support.
