THE Coordinating Council of Private Education Associations (Cocopea) has reiterated its stand against the 'No Permit, No Exam' bill being pushed in Congress, saying that its passage could close many private schools in the country.
In the statement issued on Friday but released to the media on Monday, Cocopea also added that the bill will disenfranchise thousands of students, while teachers and school personnel would lose their jobs.According to Cocopea spokesman and Legal Counsel Kristine Carmina R.
'Since private schools rely heavily on steady cash flow for its continued operations, any prohibition that affects their ability to effectively collect fees for funding will disrupt cash flow that is used to sustain their operations. Without this, many schools will be forced to close. And in turn, result in the disenfranchisement of thousands of students and cause extensive job losses,' Manaog said.
