Student Loan Scheme 2022, Brief About Student Loan Scheme

The Government of Pakistan is trying to solve the problems of poverty and illiteracy by launching various schemes and programs. One of the recent schemes launched is the Student Loan Scheme 2022.

One of the biggest problems in Pakistan is that people do not have access to education. It is estimated that nearly 15% of the population does not have access to education. This is because they cannot afford the fees or simply don’t have any opportunities to get an education.
