Financing Student Loans in Thailand: Revolving Fund or Open-Ended Commitment?

Ziderman, Adrian

Economics of Education Review, v21 n4 p367-80 Aug 2002

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)
