He asked that students ensure that when the time comes,Wholesale Jerseys Outlet, they make good on payments to the institution.The Minister explained to the gathering that the student loan was set up as a revolving fund, one which started in 1994 under the People’s Progressive Party/Civic (PPP/C) rule when fees to the University of Guyana were reintroduced.From the inception of the institution in 1973 to 1976, it cost students $100 per annum to study at the institution, said Jordan. In 1976, paying for tertiary education at this institution was abandoned and obtaining qualifications at the University was free until fees were reintroduced in1994 during the rule of Dr. Cheddi Jagan, leader of the PPP/C.Recently, Vice Chancellor of the University,China Jerseys Cheap, Dr. Jacob Opadeyi,NFL Jerseys China, had suggested that the loan agency be removed from government and students should be made to approach commercial banks, credit unions and other financial institutions for loans.The Finance Minister said, however,Cheap NFL Jerseys China, that if that measure was taken, the halls of the university would see a significant reduction in the number of students.“If we were to do that, many of you would not be here because commercial banks would require all kinds of documentation and different criteria would have to be satisfied.

The government Minister revealed too, that a new facility is being erected next to the Education Lecture Theatre to house the Student Loan Agency.The facility, he said, would be erected to ensure the comfort of students who would be using the agency.

At the same time you have to do your part. You are not being smart by not repaying the loan. In fact, your morals are in question when you do that,” intimated the government Minister.Jordan told the batch of Social Science students that should they fail to repay their loan they would be depriving students in years to come, who would need the loan award to pursue their studies. “Please remember the people who are coming behind you to use that same system,” said Jordan.The Minister also made clear the reason government had not made allocations for the student loan in this year’s budget. He said there is sufficient money in the Student Loan Fund for it to revolve for the first time.“It would revolve for many more years if you (the students) and all those who were before you and those that come after you, repay their money,” Jordan ended.(Sunita Samaroo)
