KINUMPIRMA ni Senate Majority Leader Joel Villanueva na kasama sa mga isyung tinatalakay ng 2nd Congressional Commission on Education ang free college education law.

Ito, aniya, ay upang matiyak na accessible sa mahihirap ang free tertiary education.

“As one of the commissioners of the EDCOM2, this is one of the issues that we are currently looking into and ensure that free tertiary education is accessible mostly to the poor,” pahayag ni Villanueva.

Inihayag ni Villanueva na isa sa kanilang findings ay dapat na gawing mas targeted ang libreng edukasyon.

Dapat aniyang matiyak na maibibigay ang libreng edukasyon sa anak ng mahihirap na pamilya.

Iginiit ni Villanueva na dapat bigyang prayorodad ng gobyerno ang mga estudyante na higit na nangangailangan ng tulong kumpara sa mga may kakayanan namang makapag-aral.

“One of our findings in the EDCOM is to make free education more targeted by giving grant-in-aid for children of poor households. The government must give priority to students who are in need of government aid than those who can afford it,” paliwanag ng mambabatas.
