PUTRAJAYA: The government is reviewing the loan repayment exemption criteria for National Higher Education Fund Corporation (PTPTN) borrowers who achieved first-class honours degree graduates, says Datuk Seri Dr Zambry Abd Kadir.
The Higher Education Minister said the review is important to reassess the actual definition and standards of "first-class honours" so implementation of loan repayment exemptions is fairer and more transparent.
