At least 264 private colleges and universities have not yet submitted requirements needed for processing and releasing the tertiary education subsidy (TES) which helps student beneficiaries in paying their school fees, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) said.
CHED Chairman J. Prospero De Vera III on Wednesday said they have been getting inquiries and complaints regarding the delay on the TES benefit distribution which amounts to P60,000 per academic year.
It is the PEAC that processes the TES billings of private schools and endorses these billing claims to CHED and Unified Student Financial Assistance System for Tertiary Education for payment. Due to the restrictions of the lockdown and other issues such as poor internet connection and access in transportation, some private HEIs have encountered problems in giving the subsidy to their students, he explained.
