The Ruling on Paying Zakat When There Are Debts

Question
How is zakat calculated when there is an educational loan? And how should parents teach their children about paying zakat on income?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: If the money he has exceeds his debts, he is obligated to pay zakat; otherwise, he is not, and God knows best.
