The Department of Higher Education and Training wishes emphatically to state that contrary to some reports today, there has been no amnesty or suspension of loan repayments to the National Student Financial Aid Scheme (NSFAS).
Some confusion appears to have arisen because debts owed by some individuals to universities for fees owing from 2013 to 2015 are being settled through NSFAS loans.
This has allowed graduates to obtain their certificates and degrees in order to assist them in finding work or continue with their studies, but they are still required to repay NSFAS as agreed.
