The House committees on basic education and on higher education on Tuesday, February 23, started discussing the bill seeking the grant of free entrance examinations in state universities and colleges (SUCs) and local universties and colleges (LUCs) to graduating high school students, graduates as well as college transferees.
House Bill No. 647 also proposes free admissions test in private higher education institutions (HEIs) for underprivileged public high school belonging to the top 10 percent of their class.
Paranaque Representative Joy Myra Tambunting, author of the bill, said this would make higher education more accessible. She said that “entrance examinations are among the prohibitive costs for any student in gaining a college degree.”
