Such event is meant to sensitize students\u2019 loan beneficiaries and employers to help us along the journey to increase the number of beneficiaries paying back the loan,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>He highlighted that only 12,000 beneficiaries out of 70,000 are actively paying back the loan.  <\/p>\n<p>Tracking beneficiaries who received non-electronic identities before 2008 is among challenges impeding fully implementation of loan recovery.<\/p>\n<p>Rutabana said that the institution is working closely with National ID Agency (NIDA), Rwanda Revenue Authority (RRA) and Rwanda Social Security Board (RSSB) among others to track records of past beneficiaries. <\/p>\n<p>The Minister of Education, Dr. Eugene Mutimura thanked institutions contributing to loan recovery to support education of future generations and called on others to support the cause.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cYour efforts can not be taken for granted. It means you understand the importance of provision of loans to students so that they study and at the same time understand the importance of loan recovery and therefore the sustainability of this effort,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Best compliant institutions and individuals were also awarded during the event. <\/p>\n<figure class=\"spip-document spip-document-30822 aligncenter\"><img
