AIU Library | Available | This book presents information from the Commonwealth Ministers of Education's Ninth Conference in Nicosia, held in Cyprus in 1984, that addressed strategies to (1) increase resources for the development of education in developing countries, and (2) make better use of existing resources for educational needs. The book's main intent is to present some of the practical issues and choices that any authority contemplating setting up a student loan program must face, and to bring to the attention of policy makers the experience of student loan schemes already operating. Chapter 1 discusses the case for introducing student loan programs. Chapter 2 covers policy choices and contains discussions on policy decisions in designing a student loan programs including 10 crucial decisions and the advantages and disadvantages of different models. Chapter 3 shows how a computer model can be developed to examine the implications of alternative choices. Chapter 4 provides more details of actual experience, including experiences from both developed and developing countries and particularly highlighting activities in Colombia, Barbados, and Hong Kong as case studies of countries which have established student loan programs. Contains an 18-item bibliography. (GLR) | 15645 |
