The Coordinating Council of Private Educational Associations (COCOPEA) raised serious concerns over reports that the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) would issue a 'blanket denial' on all pending tuition increase petitions from private colleges and universities. The group warned that such a prohibition could harm the students it aims to protect. They urged CHED to adopt a case-by-case approach.
