President Obama signed a presidential memorandum Tuesday directing federal agencies to overhaul the way Americans repay their student loans.

The move is the latest in a series of steps the administration has taken to promote college access and affordability, including expanding a program that caps student loan payments to 10 percent of a person’s income for 20 years.
