You never have any student loans left once you are retired. This is because your student loans need to be paid off when you are 50 years (or sooner if possible). If you are granted a student loan you will be told this and they will help you set up a payment plan.

PS: This is how it works in Sweden where I live. Since I don't know where you live I can't specifically help you, but I assume that its equal in many other countries.

In the USA, a Federal student loan must be repaid, whether you are retired or not. There is no statute of limitations on Federal student loans, unless you are signed up to the IBR repayment program. If IBR, then a limitation of 25 years is in place.

What is the purpose of direct loan?

A direct loan is a student loan that is made to the student directly by the federal government, which then subsidizes the interest on the loan while the student is in school. A direct loan is not a consolidation loan, neither for student loans or for people who have general debt. Direct loans are made to those who are determined eligible based on need, which is determined by FAFSA (www.fafsa.ed.gov). Keep in mind that student loans, once consolidated, are no longer "student loans" and as such are no longer eligible for any of the benefits of a student loan.
