House rejects Student Loan Fund budget top-up
The House committee scrutinising the fiscal 2027 budget bill rejected a People's Party proposal to allocate 5.61 billion baht to the Student Loan Fund (SLF). Instead, the committee approved reallocating 11.16 billion baht to nine other agencies, while Bhumjaithai Party argued that SLF's core problems are debt collection and fund management, not insufficient funding.
