MANILA — The Department of Education on Thursday appealed to private schools to defer increases in tuition and other fees for the coming school year due to financial constraints that parents and stude
nts may be facing due to the coronavirus pandemic.
The education department also asked private schools to be transparent in the structure of tuition and miscellaneous fees. The DepEd earlier said private schools seeking to raise tuition rates need to justify their requests. As of Thursday, 558,705 learners have enrolled in private schools nationwide, according to DepEd data. Last year, around 4.3 million students were registered in private schools.
