EDUCATIONAL subsidy under the Universal Access for Quality Tertiary Education Act (UAQTEA) can be redesigned by transitioning to a voucher system or a socialized tuition fee model to support both students and schools.
This was highlighted in a recent study by the Philippine Institute for Development Studies (PIDS), titled "Financial Sustainability of Higher Education Institutions in the Philippines: Issues, Challenges, and Opportunities," authored by PIDS senior research fellow Connie Bayudan-Dacuycuy, University of the Philippines Diliman assistant professor Herisadel Flores and De La Salle University professor Arnel Onesimo Uy.
