Introduction[/B] The Government of Sri Lanka expects to expand Higher Education opportunities in the country. However, due to several other national policy priorities in public investments, such as social welfare services that needs to be looked after by the State, investments in Higher Education has been limited. Therefore, with the participation of the private sector (recognized Non-State Higher Education Institutes), the Government has decided to expand opportunities for Higher Education to enable students with G.C.E Advance Level qualifications to pursue their Higher Educational aspirations, if they were unable to secure placement in State Universities. In this endeavour, the Government provides opportunities to those students who were unable to bear the cost of course fees at foreign universities, foreign university affiliated local institutes or at local Non-State Degree Awarding Institutes recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education. [B]1.2. Role of the Government of Sri Lanka in Higher Education[/B] The State has a responsibility to provide equal opportunities for all G.C.E (A/L) qualified students to have access for Higher Education. The resource limitations in State Universities curtail the said equal opportunities. The Government therefore has an obligation to provide alternative measures to make it possible. If the private sector as an equal development partner of the country’s economy has a willingness to participate in a Public Private Partnership (PPP) to provide high quality Higher Education to the younger generation of the country, then the State would only need to invest on a part of the required amount for the Higher Education. Accordingly, the private sector will provide physical resources and infrastructure facilities as provided in similar to the State Universities and the State will bear the interest of the Student Loan provided as course fees. [B]1.3. Objective for Expansion of Higher Education by Introducing Interest Free Loan Scheme.[/B] The Higher Education system is expected to produce a pool of high-level human capital, which is essential for economic and human development of the country.

Majority of G.C.E (A/L) qualified students are unable to bear the cost of the course fee of Higher Education at foreign universities, foreign university affiliated local institutes or at local Non-State Degree Awarding Institutes recognized by the Ministry of Higher Education & Highways. Hence, interest free ‘Student Loan Schemes’ for students for Degree programs with high market demand, which is designed with employability should be in place. Therefore, the State should make necessary arrangements to provide collateral free loans either from State banks or Private Banks. [B] 1.4. Interest Free Student Loan Scheme[/B] The Budget Proposal of 2017 suggested to provide opportunities to students who are qualified in G.C.E (A/L) but miss out university entrance.
