Baguio Lone District Rep. Mark Go has proposed that the Department of Education’s funding allocation for additional school buildings and other facilities be used to support the students’ schooling in private schools. “We just invest this by giving this amount to the students who will enter the private schools,” he told the plenary during the House of Representatives’ deliberations on the Department of Education’s P606. 47-billion budget for 2021.
“Every year, our population in DepEd is increasing — number of students, number of teachers, more buildings are built, and we have added incremental costs as a result of this,” Go said. Negros Oriental 1st District Rep. Jocelyn Sy Limkaichong, vice chairperson of the House Committee on Appropriations who defended the DepEd’s 2021 budget, noted that there is no hard rule in terms of computing the per capita cost for each student.
“In the perspective of investment of the government in the public education, it is related to the state of the economy, if the economy improves there will be more jobs,” she added.
