| Abstract | The Local Student Finance Scheme of the government aims at giving financial assistance to tertiary students who have problems in paying their tuition fees and living expenses. For the past 20 years, the scheme has not undergone any major changes. Since November 1995, the agency has been employing an audit firm to formulate methods on improving the efficiency of the scheme. However, the preliminary proposal issued in January 1996 suggested cancalling the family means test. The number of grant cases was proposed to be lowered from 60 percent to a range from 18 to 50 percent. |
