More than 113,953 eligible students will not get loans in the remainder of the current academic year, the Higher Education Loans Board (Helb) has said after the strict measures it unveiled last year failed to jolt past beneficiaries to pay up.

The agency whose student funding budget for year to June stands at Sh15.5 billion had hoped to recover Sh4.9 billion from past loanees.
