Presidents of SUCs said that the majority of the P6-billion reduction in their budget will impact capital outlay, which includes facilities, equipment and other investments “that will serve these institutions for periods longer than the next fiscal year.”
Senior high school students queue at examination sites in UP Diliman on June 3, 2023 to take the University of the Philippine College Admission Test as it finally resumes after a three-year hiatus due to the pandemic.MANILA, Philippines — Presidents of more than 30 state universities and colleges have called on the Congress to reinstate their funding following a P6-billion cut in the proposed 2024 national budget.
In the proposed 2024 national budget, SUCs have been allocated a total budget of P100.88 billion, marking a reduction of 5.75% compared to this year’s funding of P107.03 billion. Instead of implementing budget cuts, officials of state universities and colleges urged lawmakers to augment the budget for higher education. They stressed that the current educational system “fails to adequately cater” to the needs of students due to inadequate financial support.
“If our state universities and colleges are to be expected to do their duties, they must be funded accordingly,” they added.
