Joe Biden announces student debt relief plan
Joe Biden has announced a student debt relief plan which will cut thousands of dollars off federal loans taken out to pay for college education.
Those who make under $125,000 a year will have up to $10,000 knocked off their debt, with those who took out Pell grants relieved of up to $20,000.
Pell grants are a government initiative that was designed to support lower-income students.
Biden said that under the plan, nearly 45 per cent of federal student loan borrowers can have their debt fully cancelled, and “start getting on with their lives.”
