Obama Student Loan Program and communist Free Education
President Obama signed legislation to expand college access to education for millions of young Americans by the transformation of the Federal student loan program in what he described as “one of the most significant investment in higher since the GI Bill.”
A word of caution here. The student loan program could easily be a government vehicle for the youth of slavery by the United States.
The share price of large student loan originatorssuch as Sallie Mae, Citigroup, JP Morgan Chase and Bank of America would be undercut. Obama wants to move most of the student loan division in the direct lending program of U.S. Education.
What happens if a student from the school or lose his job drops before the student is paying off loans? Federal collateralized loans currently “provide a form of” Federal Loan Forgiveness.
In order for the forgiveness is there are some very strictRequirements, such as perform volunteer work, do teach military service, or to practice medicine in certain communities and / or other criteria to fulfill by the forgiveness program, such as working in the fields of public safety, law enforcement, early childhood education, public health given the public education, public library or school library services, emergency management and the list goes on and on.
The new program by the U.S. Education Department run makes it easier for youngenroll people in secondary schools. However, it is secured with heavy string. For one thing, the U.S. Education Department is not a financial institution, nor is it a law enforcer. The law will become the IRS enforcers. The financial burden is placed on its own will and their financial institutions. The U.S. Education Department is not accountable for each of their decisions on the awarding of scholarships.
U.S. Education Department will become a totalitarian institutionobliged to provide their own policy and the people behind the department. It resembles the communist Ministry of Higher Education and is the subject of this article.
Free Education – communist style
Some social background is necessary here. The communist system, by design, unless 100% fit employment for all to work. For the naive outsider this was very classy and sure enough, it will benefit many people who do not have to provide for themselves and their concernsFamilies.
Since there were no private companies more if someone was unemployed, was the only way to survive by stealing from the government-run institutions. It was so easy. At least that is what the government and rightly feared. Even then, would be theft of building materials and just about anything not available via retail, are smuggled from factories or other institutions and sold on the black market. The fuel for trucks, which was also part of the government, had theGasoline red. The truck drivers would routinely sell gasoline to private motorists, especially for motorcycle riders. The government had left the establishment of police checkpoints on all main streets of towns and cities, just to check for stolen gasoline, and to monitor move to the individual.
The education system was very strict. It was virtually impossible to pass the test without a good knowledge of subject.
High school was compulsory. Students wereallows a failing class only repeat once. Students who were to receive an education, a trade-technical school is associated with failed. The school was run like a boot camp. No interference allowed and corporal punishment was routine. By the time we were in high school, no one dared to disturb, they knew better. However, some teachers would smack you if you do not do your homework, or it lacked the knowledge in the class to test. Sick leave had to be from the on-site inspector or approvedNurse.
After graduating from high school, we had two options: 1 Qualify and at a university or to get approved second Get drafted into the army, which was compulsory (two years).
High education was just as Master (5 years). There was no equivalent of a university. The equivalent of four years of college was as a vocational school and took no loans to existing secondary school. To obtain a master’s degree, you have to start from scratch, no matter how many yearsthe vocational school you accumulated.
A problem with this education system was the very limited number of openings available each year. It was not unusual for 30,000 candidates competing for 300 places at the medical school to see. The Polytechnic Engineering School were I applied there were 300 posts and 15,000 applicants. The recording process was very simple: five days of written and oral examinations. Admission Department does not consider the high school grades and their reputation.All High School’s curriculum were identical throughout the country.
All the technical universities of the country had the entrance examination held in exactly the same day and at the same time. All issues and questions were secret, delivered by people from the Ministry of Education started minutes before the test. None of the test were professors dedicated to the test in advance. Each test consisted of a four-hour written, followed by an oral to a different group of subjects.
The300 finalists (adopted) were the ones collected with the top grade point average to more than 30 varieties during the entrance examination is based. None of the tests were multiple-choice answers. After the first year, 100 students in my class either resigned or had taken on all subjects and over again, even if it is only one class failed. Only 150 completed with a master’s degree in electrical engineering / electronics degree after 5 years. The score was 10-10 in those days, with 6, the lowest the note. The 300We accept 8.66 to 9.88 points on average.
You may wonder why I get into these details.
The point that I try will make here is that this huge competition mainly due to destruction of all private companies that was not necessary talent of this caliber was to stay in business. What’s with all the other 15 000 minus 300? They were created in the army for two years. After these two years, they would try again and again either at the same school or anotherwhere simple, was allowed to get. Otherwise, they would live at the end of workers for the state factories in misery.
Graduation and job assignment – the process
After graduating with an average number of all classes, including the thesis was compiled and presented a hiring freeze committee. The committee consisted of representatives from various ministries, the vacancies had been established by the Ministry of National Planning. We were the list of all openings, given 150As many jobs as we were, and demanded that before this committee one at a time in the range of our quality with the highest degree first, was exhausted to accommodate the desired job to the list.
Do we have the choice to refuse employment to any of the listed? No, it was years established by the Government place where you were five to go to work for a minimum. This was the free education guaranteed you a job.
If you were not connected, and many of myUniversities were and so was I. We all have our duties, reported that the assigned work place and within a week, we worked out a transfer listed at our desired location, which was not even by the Committee for Employment. We had to get approved for ministry and we did.
Not everyone was happy to know that at least we were busy engineers and engineers, most factories were located in relatively large cities with a theater and some social activities.
Doctors and teachers werethe most unfortunate. They were assigned to small, remote villages and had to stay there for five years. It was virtually impossible to transmit, even if a company is willing to find rentals. National ID cards you remember? This is how the government pursues, who and where these people were held and made sure they stayed there.
Stalin used this strategy quite successfully. In 1968, while working for the Romanian airline, I spent two months in Tashkent, Uzbekistan, when it was part of theSoviet Union. This was a great plant for the maintenance of Soviet made passenger aircraft. The engineering support team consisted of 35 engineers and technicians, all Russian, not even a non-Russian or Uzbek.
