Private uni students should get loan facility too: PM
View(s):Prime Minister Dinesh Gunawardena said that students in private universities, too, should be facilitated so that they have opportunities similar to those in State-run universities.
“It is very important to provide facilities to children so that not only government universities but also private universities get the opportunity,” the Prime Minister told Parliament.
The Prime Minister said the government is working to solve the financial problems that have arisen in the loan system.
He made these comments in response to a question raised by Opposition Leader Sajith Premadasa.
The Opposition Leader raised a question about the interest-free loan scheme to be implemented by the Government to pursue degree courses for higher education, and said the relevant gazette notification has not been released yet.
Mr Gunawardena said the Education Minister had explained the situation and brought this to the attention of the Cabinet, and that a course of action to be taken regarding financial allocations is currently being discussed and implemented.
“When I was Education Minister, we gave this facility to a number of private universities for a very short time during
the time of President Gotabaya Rajapaksa.”
