The House of Representatives on Monday approved on third and final reading a bill allowing college students with unpaid tuition and other school fees to take examinations on good cause and justifiable grounds.
This developed after House Bill 6348 gathered 237 yes votes, zero no votes and zero abstentions during Monday’s plenary session.
This reprieve will also be granted provided, further, that any deferment of payment of unpaid balance will not go beyond the semester, except when allowed by the HEI. HEIs found guilty of violating any provision of this bill will be subject to administrative sanctions to be imposed by the Commission on Higher Education as provided under Higher Education Act of 1994.
The bill also tasks CHED, in consultation with relevant stakeholders in higher education, to draft and finish the implementing rules and regulations of the measure within 90 days from the effectivity of the measure.
