HELB NEWS: HOW TO REPAY HELB LOANS

Leave a comment

Higher Education Loans Board, HELB was established in Kenya to raise sufficient funds to facilitate tertiary level education, recover matured loans and attain a faster turn- around in the loan repayment process.

It is divided into three:

  1. Undergraduate loans
UNDERGRADUATE LOAN

It deals with the disbursement and recovery of loans offered to salaried students.

  1. Allocation section

It focuses on the collection and updates on loanees’ accounts

It also has a Debt Management Department which is aimed at recovering all matured loans as per the HELB Act 1995.

REPAYMENT OF HELB LOANS

You are expected to repay your undergraduate HELB loan within one year of completion of studies or within the period prescribed by the Board.

You are however free to make voluntary payments before or after completing your studies.

COMPLETION OF HELB LOAN REPAYMENT

Upon completion of repayment of the loan, you should seek clearance from HELB.

Kindly take note of the fact that only HELB and not your employer can confirm your loan repayment status.

OVER-REPAYMENT

In case you pay any extra amount, HELB will refund you.

To claim a refund from HELB, you should fill the Loan Recovery Enquiry Form.

To claim a refund, please fill in the Loan Recovery Enquiry form.

JIELIMISHE LOANS FOR SALARIED STUDENTS

Unlike undergraduate loans, Jielimishe loans are due for repayment immediately upon repayment.

Successful applicants are normally notified through e-mail.

HELB LOANEE DUTIES/OBLIGATIONS

All HELB beneficiaries are expected to begin repaying their loans within the period specified by the Board.

It is advisable to repay your loan earlier as this reduces the financial burden normally experienced during mid-life.

Other benefits of repaying the loan include accessibility to bank loans, reduced number of loans and reduced chances of being blacklisted by the Credit Reference Bureau (CRB).

For easier repayment, HELB has provided many avenues through which you can repay your loan.

The payment modes suit both employed and self-employed loanees.

https://arena.co.ke/category/delocalization/

The TSC is set to delocalize school heads and other school administrators in November/ December, 2019.
In June 2019, the Teachers Service Commission directed all county Directors to collect data on school administrators in readiness for the transfers.
This was done through a memo dated 27th June, 2019 by Dr Dorothy Owuor, the TSC Deputy Director in charge of Staffing.
The Teachers Service Commission is consequently analyzing data for principals serving within their home counties and those who have served in the same school for over nine years.

The Teachers Service Commission is consequently analyzing data for principals serving within their home counties and those who have served in the same school for over nine years.

The Commission received the data at the headquarters in Nairobi by 8th July 2019.

NO DELOCALIZATION
Dr Nancy Macharia, the TSC Chief Executive Officer, has confirmed that teachers with medical conditions will not be affected by the delocalization process.

Teachers who have attained the age of 56 years will also be spared.

According to private sources, the TSC is finalizing the transfer letters for the heads who have been affected by the exercise.

The letters will be dispatched in late November or early December.

THE RATIONALE BEHIND THE DELOCALIZATION PROCESS
According to the TSC, delocalization is being undertaken due to the following reasons:

1. To fill the slots of principals and heads who have attained the mandatory retirement age. This means deputy principals and deputy heads with the required qualifications and outstanding performance will be promoted and transferred to their new stations of work. Some principals have also been transferred to fill the vacancies left to better performance and utilize the experience they have garnered in their new work stations.

2. To strengthen management in some learning institutions as per the recommendations of the standards and assessment reports.

3. To implement the policy which regulates the appointment of institutional administrators. According to the policy, administrators who have served for too long should be transferred to enable the new work stations tap into their wide experience.

NEW DELOCALIZATION DATES
The Teachers Service Commission in April transferred few school administrators to avoid disruption of curriculum implementation.

The Commission now prefers delocalizing Administrators in December as opposed to August and April to facilitate a smooth transition and reduce disruptions.

KNUT has vehemently opposed the massive delocalization exercise saying it should be carried out with some bit of humanity.

PANGANI GIRLS’ BRIEF HISTORY

The school was founded in the year 1932 in pre-independent Kenya.

The school was formerly called the Duchess of Gloucester School, named after Princess Alice the late who was the Duchess of Gloucester.

By then, only Asians were allowed to school there and it was located around Ngara, Pangani area in Nairobi.

The school was then offering Cambridge and Higher Cambridge School Certificate which is equivalent to today’s O-Level and A-Level education respectively.

Soon after independence, the school was renamed Pangani Girls High and Africans were also allowed to enrol.

The school was initially a day-school before being converted into boarding in the year 1986.

At the time, it was ranked as an extra- county secondary school.

Its consistency in posting exemplary results finally paid off when it was made a national school in the year 2011 to offer a better quality of secondary education.

THE TWO-TIER MODEL

Pangani Girls works on a two-tier model.

The first one focuses on providing wholesome education through the four key programs run by the school administration.

NYANZA PARENTS ATTEMPT TO COMPROMISE THE ONGOING KCSE EXAMS

Nyanza region has been on the spotlight for the past few weeks over malicious plans to cheat in the on-going KCSE examinations.

Today, Cabinet Secretary- Education Professor George Magoha said the government had thwarted an attempt by a section of Nyanza parents to jeopardize the on-going national exam.

The parents had contributed money which they were planning to offer as a bribe to KNEC officers to access the exam papers beforehand.

According to CS Magoha, the parents in Kisii, Homabay and Migori had together contributed Kshs 200, 000 which was to be shared out among the police, supervisors and invigilators.

He further added that the Ministry of Education is already aware of the supervisors who were to get paid Kshs 120, 000, Police Kshs 40, 000 and invigilators Kshs 60, 000.

Professor Magoha also warned the candidates against any form of cheating reiterating that anyone who is caught cheating will not receive their KCSE results.

He was speaking when he was overseeing the distribution of KCSE exam papers in Kisumu County.
