Bt1.4-bn student loan fund in limbo
Play
It remains unclear whether the Cabinet, now in its caretaker status, will be able to approve an additional budget of Bt1.4 billion for the Student Loan Fund.
Caretaker Education Minister Chaturon Chaisang yesterday said without the approval, about 112,500 students would be affected.
He said relevant authorities would consult the Budget Bureau and the Secretariat of the Cabinet on the issue.
“If the caretaker Cabinet cannot approve the budget, we will be exploring measures to minimise impacts on students,” he said.
