HR02165: RESOLUTION URGING THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS TO RESTORE THE P584 MILLION BUDGET SLASHED BY THE DEPARTMENT OF BUDGET AND MANAGEMENT IN THE MAINTENANCE AND OTHER OPERATING EXPENSES (MOOE) OF 63 SUCS, AND SUBSTANTIALLY AUGMENT BUDGET ALLOCATION FO
This resolution calls for the House Committee on Appropriations to restore the P584 million budget cut by the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) in the maintenance and other operating expenses (MOOE) of 63 state universities and colleges (SUCs).
It also wants the substantial augmentation of the budget allocation for capital outlay (CO) and the public tertiary education system.
The resolution argues that the budget cuts will force SUCs to increase tuition and other fees, making education less accessible to students.
It also argues that the government's current budget framework for state schools contradicts its intention of developing public education.
The resolution also calls for a complete overhaul of the current system of education.
