Shocking news hit me about PUP's proposed increase in their tuition fee. From 12/unit, it will be up to 200/unit while a 100% hike on miscellaneous fee.
Being a PUP graduate myself, I could hardly believe this bold move by PUP's management. The university is state-owned and shelter most of our bright fellow Filipinoes who can't afford exclusive schools. With this in mind, the government should continue to protect the interest of the majority in order to produce the best young minds in the future.
PUP was well known to be home to activists where almost all issues (e.g., political) are tackled. More than the front it was known to, the university lived up to the standards of competing against private and exclusive schools, though it may not be among the same category of UP or Ateneo, one could not deny the fact that PUP has been and is still a breeding ground to high caliber graduates.
However, the proposed increase must be carefully evaluated as not to provoke further the already provoked students and activists of PUP. This sudden step might be taken as a big leap, perhaps, a minimal increase could be more well accepted.
Sure enough, this move as bold as it will further strengthen the university and become a better provider of quality education if and only the increase is aimed to such objectives, the aftermath otherwise.
What ponders me now, in case I want to take another course, should I still go for PUP?
