He urged students in higher learning institutions to open up bank accounts with the lender adding that the bank\u2019s accounts offer many advantages including instant loans of up to 500,000\/-.<\/p>\n<p>Mr Mponzi reiterated the bank\u2019s commitment to continue working closely with the government and education institutions to support the development of the education sector right from the grassroots level. \u201cThe education sector is among our key priorities.<\/p>\n<p>To underline our commitment to supporting higher learning, we last year set aside 200bn\/- loans for students in higher learning institutions following close discussions with the Ministry of Education and Vocational Training,<\/p>\n<p>\u201cStudents can request loans ranging from 200,000\/- to 10m\/- at an interest rate of only 9.0 per cent.\u201d Mr Mponzi said.<\/p>\n<p>The HESLB Executive Director, Dr Bill Kiwia, said the aim of the forum was to receive feedback from different stakeholders involved in the disbursement functionality of his institution.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are not satisfied by the current situation because the demand is higher than the available resources.We are still looking to different alternative funding resources to reach more students,\u201d he stressed.<\/p>\n<p>The board at the moment reaches more than 200,000 needy students but has already drawn plans to reach more students adding that this will however depend on the availability of financial resources.<\/p>\n<p>He urged beneficiaries of HESLB loans to ensure timely repayments to enable his institution to operate efficiently for the benefit of more needy students.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/tanzania\">Tanzania<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Tanzania.
