A considerable number of private schools have yet to receive their Educational Service Contracting (ESC) subsidies and their students’ Senior High School Voucher Program (SHS-VP), according to Catholic school groups.
“We humbly urge the concerned agencies to facilitate the prompt processing and release of the pending subsidies and voucher program assistance,” the Catholic Educational Association of the Philippines (CEAP) and the CBCP-Episcopal Commission on Catholic Education (ECCE) said in a joint statement on Friday.
The groups noted that among the schools affected are “small and financially vulnerable institutions”, which consider the government subsidies and voucher program assistance essential in sustaining their operations amid rising electricity prices.
