Student Loans : the Empirical Record (Working Paper 6)

Student loan programmes have been the target of a good deal of attention in recent years and one important set of concerns has focussed on the levels of borrowing and the associated debt loads. This paper presents the results of an empirical investigation of borrowing and repayment patterns of four recent cohorts of post-secondary graduates based on the National Graduates Survey (NGS) databases. The paper should be relevant to those interested in access to post-secondary education and the well-being of students, the financing of the higher education more generally, and a range of related issues.

España y los Institutos : National Defense Education Act.

La educación es utilizada por todas las naciones, sin distinción, para dar a conocer los grandes avances técnicos, y sensibilizar sobre su capacidad destructiva, sobre todo la de los descubrimientos bélicos. Además el dominio de una nación sobre las otras ya no se va a fundamentar en grandes conquistas bélicas, sino en la capacidad tecnológica superior de unas naciones respecto a otras. De este modo tras el lanzamiento del Sputnik por parte de Rusia, Estados Unidos se lanza a dar un apoyo sin precedentes a sus programas educativos. Con este espíritu se promulga la National Defense Education Act, que firma Einsenhower en 1958. La ley está compuesta por diez apartados. Se analizan en profundidad los apartados de esta ley y su influencia en los institutos norteamericanos.
