Bogotá DC, September 28, 2023. In compliance with the National Development Plan ‘Colombia, world power of life’, the Ministry of National Education, ICETEX and the Central de Inversiones SA – CISA, consolidated a relief plan to help students who belong to groups A , B and C of Sisbén IV with the forgiveness of their educational credit.
“Since the arrival of the Government of Change, we have been working on the design of a solution for thousands of young beneficiaries of the Ser Pilo Paga program and the Reparation Fund for access, permanence and graduation in higher education for the population victims of the armed conflict. In colombia. The students from that pair of funds accessed those forgivable loans, but were not able to graduate and, therefore, fell into debt. The valuation study gave us the feasibility of canceling the entire capital and other concepts of the obligation to almost 5,000 young people who, in addition to the frustration of not completing their higher education, were left with million-dollar obligations to the State,” said Nicolás Corso Salamanca, president of CISA.
For her part, the Minister of Education, Aurora Vergara Figueroa, indicated that “the National Government is complying with the rescue plan for beneficiaries of forgivable loans and will continue to explore financing schemes appropriate to the payment capacity of the beneficiaries, as well as mechanisms that make it possible to compensate for increases in the price index in periods of high inflation, making use of new sources of financing to expand coverage.”
In this way, the Government of Change, through the Ministry of Education, ICETEX and allies such as Central de Inversiones SA – CISA, continues to find mechanisms to achieve economic relief that results in benefits for young people and families who live complex realities.
“This is excellent news for 4,983 families, because by touring the regions of the country and talking with our communities we found that these young people were not able to pay their loans and that they did not meet the requirements to obtain forgiveness. For this reason, we took on the task of finding economic relief mechanisms for these young people and their families. The invitation to people who manage to obtain credits through the Funds, administered by ICETEX, is to comply with the graduation merit so that they can be granted forgiveness and thus be able to consolidate their life projects without compromising their well-being and economic conditions. “added the president of ICETEX, Mauricio Toro.
