All state Universities and Colleges in the Philippines will
offer education to Filipino nationals for free starting next year after the
Senate and the Congress approved the 8 Billion pesos additional budget for the
Commission on Higher Education.
 |
| Free higher education has been my advocacy since my days as a congressman. I commend my colleagues, especially Senator Loren Legarda, for appropriating ₱8.3 billion to finance the establishment of a tuition-free policy in state universities and colleges. Hopefully, the Senate will soon be ready to pass the next step in the process, the Free Higher Education Act, which will institutionalize the gains made by the current budget insertion.http://bit.ly/FreeEducationBudget |
The only needed was the sign of President Duterte approving
the free tuition fee to all State Universities in the Philippines.
Sonny Angara and other Senators confirmed the news on their
social media accounts:
“If confirmed, free tuition at SCUs could be 2016’s best
news for the nation’s peasant and workingclass families.” Blogger Tonyo Cruz
tweeted.

The P8-B budget may only covered the tuition fee, but not
the other miscellaneous expenses like laboratory fees.
The additional budget for CHED was part of the P3.35-T
proposed budget for 2017. It only needed the approval of President Rodrigo
Duterte and he’s expected to sign it after his trip abroad.
