Student loan reform helps our future

Posted April 07, 2010 11:00 pm

I am happy about the student loan reform. It is very important that students get genuine help and the middle man does not profit out of these loans. One of the greatest things about this country is its ability to provide free schooling from K-12 to students. We should not be taxing students when they pursue higher education. Most students do not study further when they see the loan amount that they will be responsible with at the end. Especially in today's economy with jobs so hard to find, if they have to worry about high interest loans it is one less reason to go for the loans and study further. Education should be affordable and easy to pay back. Eventually everyone will progress, not just the loan givers.

Educational fees also needs to subsidized. Students who are earning doctorate degrees end up with huge loans that are hard to repay if the jobs are not going to pay them as much in future.
