Governments should develop a regulatory framework to ensure tha new financing tools, such as income sharing agreements (ISAs), do not further predatory student debt collection practices. Policies can reduce risks associated with emerging financing models by limiting stacked ISAs, shifting risk from students to funders, and banning discriminatory and predatory practices.

Requirements for repayment are successful completion of a certificate and a job that pays atl east $40,000 per year, after which students contribute no more than 8% of their income per year.
