Due to the government's proposal to raise the interest rate on student loans, SFS has published a debate article together with the Saco Student Council. In the article, we point out that the proposal pits young people and professionals against each other, and that social bias in recruitment risks increasing.
Read an excerpt below. The whole debate article is here:
“The government has proposed that the interest rate on the loan part of the study grant should be 11 times as high as today. The interest rate increase is proposed to apply to both new and old CSN loans and apply from 2023. Increased repayment on the loans later in life means in practice that it will cost more money to study - especially for those who choose to study long educations, as teachers, civil engineers , sociologist or doctor. The increase is intended to finance adjustment study support for professionals in mid-life. ”
