MANILA – State universities and colleges (SUCs) were asked to refund the fees students paid for the second semester of school year 2017-2018.

The Commission on Higher Education (CHED) should have enforced Republic Act 10931, or the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act, this semester, Sen. Paolo Benigno Aquino IV said.

Some SUCs still collected tuition and other fees from students despite the law, Aquino lamented.

Sa mga nangolekta na, ang gusto natin ay i-refund ang ibinayad ng mga estudyante at kanilang pamilya,” said the law’s principal Senate sponsor and coauthor.

According to Aquino, the free tuition law will cushion the impact of the rising prices of goods and services due to the new tax reform law.

Kung tutulong tayo, huwag nang magtimpi. Lubus-lubusin na ang tulong. Ipatupad na ang libreng tuition at miscellaneous fees,” he said.

The Senate has adopted Aquino’s resolution calling for the “full and immediate” implementation of the law this second semester./PN
