Yes, and increase government funding so every student receives a free college education
Many Democrats, especially progressives, strongly support free college education and increasing taxes on the wealthy. For example, Senator Bernie Sanders and Representative Pramila Jayapal introduced the 'College for All Act' in 2021, which would eliminate tuition and fees at public colleges and universities for families making up to $125,000 per year, funded by a tax on Wall Street transactions. This answer aligns closely with the Democratic party's goals.

No, and transition all current government student loans into privately managed accounts
The Democratic party generally supports government involvement in student loans and would likely oppose transitioning them to privately managed accounts. This stance is more aligned with the Republican party, which has advocated for reducing government involvement in student loans. For example, the Trump administration proposed a plan in 2019 to eliminate the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program and limit the role of the federal government in student lending.
