The role that is played by higher loans education board is very critical in ensuring the students have an easy and comfortable time in school without having to compromise their studies in a negative way by looking for jobs and having to miss their classes.
The government expects the loans beneficiary to pay back the monies once they seek employment and they start earning. These are attributed to a number of reasons such as to ensure that the higher loans department has more money to loan the incoming group of applicants and also for the government to recover their money. Due to the high risk nature of students not paying back the higher education loans the ministry has enacted tough penalties within its laws to ensure that the students compile and discourage any defaulters. The efficiency of the collecting the debt has been easier with automation of banking and also tax collection through iTax and other social services being offered by the government.
In addition to that, through the filling of returns by the employee the ministry of higher education in conjunction with ministry of treasury they withhold the monthly remittance to loans boards automatically through the check off system. This promotes accountability and maximum input to the system and also seal all the loopholes whereby former students can avoid paying back the loan to the higher education loans board. Especially due to the stiff penalties that come along with defaulting to pay the student’s loan.
