    "content": "I did my Bachelors Degree when I was a little bit old. Unfortunately, I sat with students who were even 16 years old in the university. Nobody questioned their legitimacy in that class. This country should allow bright students to move to the levels that they want to move without hindrance from anybody. Based on the contract law, whoever is supposed to acquire a loan must be an adult. These are students who have parents and guardians. In our law, we should have a situation where a student who is below 18 years can sign a contract and be allowed to access loans through the parents or the guardians. A student who is below 18 years cannot be denied to acquire a loan just because he is below 18 years. We should have a situation where students can access loans regardless of their age. In this Bill we need to allow the parent or the guardian to enter into a contract with the Higher Education Loans Board, on behalf of the student. This will allow the student to access loans. After attaining 18 years, there should be a clause that allows the loan to revert back to the student. We should not disallow our students to access loans based on age.
