菲律宾私立教育协会联合会（COCOPEA）对有关高等教育委员会（CHED）将“全面拒绝”所有私立大专院校待处理的涨学费申请的报道表示严重关切。该组织警告称，这种禁令可能会伤害到它旨在保护的学生，并敦促高等教育委员会采取逐案审批的方法。
COCOPEA在一份声明中表示：“全面禁止学费上涨最终可能会伤害到它旨在保护的学生。”他们警告称，这会限制私立高等教育机构（PHEIs）在成本上升背景下的灵活性，可能导致教职工裁员、课程中断、教育质量下降或学校倒闭。
该组织指出，根据高等教育委员会的规定，70%的学费调整收益会自动用于支付教职员工的工资和福利。他们补充说：“政策必须公平且可行……善意的政府行为必须经过精心设计，以确保不会给私立高等教育机构和学生带来长期的隐患。”
COCOPEA强调了公立和私立教育提供者之间宪法规定的互补性，认为全面禁止涨学费会不公平地加重私立高等教育机构的负担，而公立高等教育机构则获得更多的政府拨款。与此同时，青年团体“进步青年协会”（SPARK）敦促高等教育委员会解决国立大学的学生问题，包括菲律宾理工大学的断电问题。
