A party-list member of the House of Representatives has appealed to fellow legislators to support the passage of a bill that would provide a five percent discount on tuition, school supplies and prescribed electronic devices for online learning to all underprivileged students in the basic education, technical-vocational and college levels.
“This measure will significantly provide relief to the financial woe continuously faced by poor students in pursuing their education. A 5 percent discount may not mean much to those who can afford to buy everything they need for school. But this would be a big help to students and their families struggling to make ends meet,” Yamsuan, chair of the House committee on Bic ol Recovery and Development, said in a statement.
Filipino students who opt to take part-time jobs to subsidize their education, and whose income combined with those of their parents do not exceed P250,000, are also entitled to the benefit.
