Financing student loans in Thailand: Revolving fund or open-ended commitment?
Economics of Education Review, (2002)
Abstract
Analyzes a student-loans scheme in Thailand to increase access of poor students, for example, to upper-secondary and postsecondary education. Finds average repayment ratio of loans is 10 percent or less. Recommends conversion of upper-secondary loans to grants and reforms in postsecondary loan procedures to improve repayment and recovery ratios. (Contains 16 references.) (PKP)
