MANILA, Philippines – Most public and private schools schools will open on Monday, June 13, expecting about 24-25 million students to attend elementary and high school classes.
More than 12% of them are expected to enroll in private schools. The Department of Education approved the request of more than 1,200 private elementary and high schools to increase tuition fees. (The Commission on Higher Education approved the same request of more than 300 private colleges.)
The opening of classes this year coincides with the full implementation of the K to 12 program, which will add the two senior high school years to the current program.
To help families cope with the expected additional expenses of senior high school, the DepEd has made available financial assistance through its voucher program.
