Proposal: Higher Education Act
#2

An improved version:

Quote: 
Resolution name: Higher Education Act
Category: Social Justice

The United Nations:

REALIZING with regret that many poorer teenagers and adolescents cannot pay for higher education,

NOTICING that many rich nations fail to pay for higher education,

AWARE that many teenagers and adolescents want to attend higher education,

ALSO aware that:
- Students need to focus more on their study,
- It is also important that students and parents still pay a part of the higher education,

RECALLING UN resolution #28 where every person under the age of 18 receives a free education and

WANTING to go a step further than resolution #28

Calls for the implementation of the ?Higher Education Act? whereby all UN nations are:

- REQUIRED to finance at least 35% of higher education costs for all students,
- DEFINES higher education as all education above secondary level such as colleges and universities.
- REQUIRED to give students a loan when asked, whereby:
1. There will be a maximum interest-rate of 0,1% for students in poorer families to 0,50% for students in richer families,
2. The interest-payments will start after the study: the student does not have to pay interest during the study and does not have to pay the interest for those ?study-years? afterwards,
- CALLS ON on governments to always properly finance higher education.
