The Duterte administration has made what can be said as the first big stride towards making education available for all. A total of P8.3 billion was granted to the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) this year to make the dream of free tuition fees in state colleges and universities (SUCs) a reality.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Implementing Rules and Regulations (IRR) for the Free Tuition Policy have not yet been ironed out by CHED and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM), but once it is, students from these schools* will benefit from the policy:<\/p>\n

As of today, the IRR has not been released by CHED, citing details that need to be ironed out, including whether or not it can cover all of the students in SUCs. CHED also wants to ensure that poor but deserving students are prioritized before trying to cover other students who attend SUCs.<\/p>\n

CHED has also expressed concerns about how the policy will affect private colleges and universities who may lose students to SUCs because of free tuition. They have assured the public that the policy will be implemented this school year.<\/p>\n
