MANILA, Philippines – In taking her life over unpaid tuition, a University of the Philippines-Manila student may have become the face of the campaign for educational reform.
By Saturday, March 16, there were indications UP Manila would suspend its forced leave of absence policy imposed on students unable to pay tuition on time.
The day before, on March 15, students gathered simultaneously in the 5 University of the Philippines systems nationwide. They said the suicide of a fellow student points to a serious problem in the country’s state education system which should be giving preference to the under-privileged. Online, UP Manila is also getting a lot of flak.
Those cold hearted bureaucrats in UP Manila should resign in guilt & shame.
