THE Senate subcommittee on Constitutional Amendments has invited more resource persons from the higher education sector for the discussion of the Resolution of Both Houses 6 on March 5.

Subcommittee Chairman Sonny Angara confirmed that representatives of higher education institutions will attend the proceedings.

“It’s a continuation of the session for higher education. Mas madaming naimbita from the tech-voc and private education sector,” Angara told reporters.

RBH 6 contains a proposal amending Article XIV on opening up higher educational institutions to full foreign ownership.

Earlier, Angara called for greater precision in the language of any proposed amendment, emphasizing the need to clarify the scope of the amendment amid concerns about its potential impact on basic education.

“Before we amend or seek to amend the constitutional provision on ownership or management and control of higher education institutions, perhaps we should aim at greater precision in the language of the amendment,” he said.

Angara addressed interpretations of RBH 6, expressing concern that some may have misunderstood its implications on basic education.

He has repeatedly assured that the measure only intends to tackle higher education and keep basic education in the hands of Filipinos.
