COCOPEA nagbabala laban sa blanket tuition hike ban ng CHED

Nagpahayag ng seryosong pag-aalala ang Coordinating Council of Private Educational Associations (COCOPEA) kaugnay ng mga ulat na magsasagawa ng 'blanket denial' ang Commission on Higher Education (CHED) sa mga kahilingan ng pagtaas ng matrikula ng pribadong paaralan. Sinabi ng grupo na maaaring makasama ito sa mga estudyante. Hinikayat nila ang CHED na gumamit ng case-by-case na paglapit.

Sa isang pahayag, sinabi ng COCOPEA na 'a blanket hike prohibition can end up hurting the very students it aims to protect.' Nagbabala sila na magreresulta ito sa pagtatanggal ng mga guro, pagkaantala ng mga programa, pagbaba ng kalidad, o pagsara ng mga paaralan dahil umaasa ang pribadong higher education institutions (PHEIs) sa tuition fees.

Ipinaliwanag ng grupo na 70 porsyento ng kita mula sa tuition hikes ay awtomatikong napupunta sa suweldo at benepisyo ng personnel, ayon sa mga regulasyon ng CHED. 'Policy must still be fair and workable… well-meaning government action must be carefully designed so it does not create new problems for PHEIs and students in the long term,' dagdag nila.

Binigyang-diin ng COCOPEA ang constitutional complementarity sa pagitan ng pampublikong at pribadong paaralan, na sinasabing nilalabag ng blanket denial dahil pinapaboran nito ang public HEIs. Samantala, hinikayat ng youth group Samahan ng Progresibong Kabataan (SPARK) ang CHED na tugunan din ang mga isyu sa state universities, kabilang ang power interruptions sa Polytechnic University of the Philippines.
