The Ministries of Finance; Education and Training; Labor, War Invalids and Social Affairs, and the Bank for Social Policies are assigned to work out the scheme on loan lines, conditions and methods, and the post-graduation payment methods. The scheme must be publicized in September 2007. The PM’s Instruction aims to facilitate all disadvantaged students to study and improve themselves to become helpful citizens for society and contribute to the national construction and development.
