Good News!???
There’s news regarding no tuition fee increase in all private and public state universities and colleges according to Commission on Higher Education Chairman Romulo Neri. The one I posted earlier.
According to Neri, CHED officials are still reviewing the petitions of state and private universities regarding tuition fee increase. Well its good news to hear that there will be no tuition fee hike for every average Filipino family. We are still suffering from side by side increase of basic commodity needs like rice, flours and breads, weekly increase of oil and recently the poultry and hog products, veggies and sea foods, effect by recent tropical depression Cosme, we can no longer absorb another increase in form of tuition fees. At least sophomores, juniors and seniors can continue their studies without hard thoughts. Increase was good for the development of facilities of the school establishment, but does the teachings and trainings improves? For some known colleges and universities yes, but how about some schools that doesn’t even passed the CHED standards?
Is it really good news? Well Neri however said colleges and universities do not need CHED permission to increase fees for the incoming freshmen. Whoa, how about other students who wants to get a degree courses or even associates. Survey says many average Filipino families are considerable to be poor these days. What if theses families can no longer afford to take their children to schools? The main reason of poverty here in our country is education, so how can we arise these problems if education it self were too much of the costs. Only in the Philippines, education is a business and not an institutions, you be the judge. Rodel.
