Give us a higher budget, asked faculty and student leaders of state universities and colleges recently, by realigning the billions of pesos in confidential and intelligence funds budgeted for next year.
Students, faculty and staff regents, student councils and publications, and faculty and employees’ unions of four SUCs, namely University of the Philippines, Polytechnic University of the Philippines, Philippine Normal University and Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology, signed a joint statement recently calling on the House and the Senate to restore the budget cut and even increase the higher education spending for next year.
The lack of permanent teaching positions results in heavier workload for instructors, professors, including teaching assistants and fellows, the SUCs lamented. Among the challenges at the university are the shortages in classrooms and laboratories, the lack of spaces for learning and organizations, and frequent power outages.
