Summary:

GAO discussed ways to improve the structure and administration of the Department of Education's Stafford Student Loan Program. GAO believes that Education needs to: (1) do a better job of approving and monitoring eligible schools; (2) expedite the development of its new student loan data systems designed to screen out ineligible students before they receive guaranteed loans; (3) provide better incentives for lenders and guaranty agencies to assume responsibility for preventing loan defaults; and (4) require guaranty agencies to maintain adequate reserves and avoid conflicts of interest.
