gov't. to lose 200 million from freezing tuition fee
the country will be coming short off of 200 million from freezing tution fees on all government colleges and universities. this was represented by representative rolando andaya jr.
from yesterday's news on major broadsheets, pgma ordered to freeze mrt fares and tuition fees on state owned colleges and universities. according to press secretary bunye, "we feel we can still absorb the cost of operations. this only shows the sensitivity of the administration."
the forecast represented by the chair of house committee on appropriations rep. rolando andaya jr. is actually p188 million, but these losses, he added, can reach p200 million once the forgone revenues from the 59 vocational and technical schools supervised by technical education and skills development authority are added in. the result, expansion plans of state colleges and universities will have to be postponed.
their point is to make sure that young people will remain in college despite the crisis. ok, i will agree to their objective on this.
one thing i don't agree is that they think, the expected losses can still be recovered if the number of enrollees would increase, especially with the expected transfer of students from private schools to state-run educational institutions. are they not thinking or they refuse to think that state colleges have to limit their number of students because they can't accomodate them because of lack of instructors, clasrooms and facilities like chairs and computers?
i don't think that tuition fee increase will be that much higher. imposing a five increase might not be a big burden to the parents because of the socialize tuition fees offered in many state colleges and universities.
this loss of 200 million will greatly help state-run colleges who are in dire need of other equipments for the school like chairs and computers. i still remember until today that me and my classmates cramp up on 1 chair (some are standing) and we spent almost 30 minutes on scouting rooms for our next class with our professor in the lead. yes... you might find it funny but it's the truth.
