Senator and Congressman strictly denied the decision of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) to make up to five years the four-year courses in nursing and other courses in college.
The protest was announced by Senator Francis' Chiz 'Escudero and Alan Peter Cayetano, Gabriela party-list Rep, Luz Ilagan, Anak Mindanao party-list Rep, Mujiv Hataman and Parañaque Rep. Roilo Golez.
Escudero said that the timing of CHED adding a year to selected courses in college is untimely because we now facing economic crisis.
Instead adding tasks to students and their parents, CHED should do something on how to raise the quality of education in country without adding more expense.
Cayetano added, the former chairman of the Senate committee on education, that CHED has not conducted a consultation with the affected sectors for implementation of 5-year course.
The number of drop-outs will increase or more students will stop studying because their parents will have difficulties in paying tuition fees.
Other parents who have already paid education plans for their children were also disappointed of the CHED’s decision.
