‘No free tuition for moneyed students’

Student organizations particularly in state universities and colleges (SUCs) should help the government in ensuring that poor college students would be given priority under the free college education program.

The call was made over the weekend by Francis Escudero, chairman of the Senate Committee on Education, Arts and Culture, who said student organizations that have been demanding free education from the government should also raise their voice against rich students who can afford to pay tuition but are taking advantage of the state’s subsidy for tuition.
