These kids were cleaning up the beach as the sun began to set. It was their daily routine: picking up dried seaweeds, barks, and garbage. It was also their way of having fun after the hot summer afternoon. The photo was taken in Hinugtan Beach, a quiet and peaceful beach in Buruanga, Aklan.

A January 10, 2012 press release from the Department of Budget and Management

Secretary Abad: Government pouring substantial investments into state colleges, universities

President Benigno S. Aquino III ordered the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) to plug P4.2 billion more into state universities and colleges (SUCs).

The amount is part of the additional P13.4 billion that the President invested for the Disbursement Acceleration Plan (DAP).

“President Aquino is committed to enhancing the quality of higher education and increasing the competitiveness of our state universities and colleges,” said Budget and Management Secretary Florencio B. Abad. ”He decided to expand the funds for public tertiary education to give Filipino students a much-needed educational boost, as well as to upgrade the standards of excellence among our SUCs.”

He added that SUCs may qualify for the added funds once they signify their commitment to the reform roadmap being designed by the Commission on Higher Education, the DBM, and the SUCs themselves.

Among the measures outlined in the reform plan include the alignment of SUC course offerings with the administration’s job-generation and economic-growth priorities; the movement toward the amalgamation of the regional university system; the development of stronger links to relevant industries, including research and development; faculty development and job placements; as well as transparent and accountable financial management, among others.

Of the P4.2 billion, P3.356 billion will support institutional capacity-building activities in leading SUCs. These include funds for upgrading key infrastructure and facilities (P2.631 billion), grant-in-aid for research, development and extension (P560 million), and executive development (165 million).

“This project will address the challenge of providing better access to quality higher education and to generate, adapt, and transfer technologies for enhancing productivity, alleviating poverty, and improving the country’s education competitiveness,” he said.

Part of the P4.2 billion is the P500 million Grants-in-Aid program for poverty alleviation that will support qualified students to complete a college degree. The students will come from the poorest families as identified by the Department of Social Welfare and Development.

The grant program will focus on vulnerable youth who are ineligible for the conditional transfer program (CCT), but who are nonetheless unable to pursue gainful employment.

The beneficiaries will be directed to enrol in priority courses—including those for science and technology, agriculture/fisheries, as well entrepreneurship—in leading universities in several regions. The students will be provided with tuition fees, monthly living stipends, and other allowances.

Likewise, P427.8 million has been earmarked for the Modernization of Higher Education Facilities project, which will infuse critical investments on leading SUCs in the regions.

“The funding allotment for SUCs reflects the Aquino government’s dedication to improve the quality of education in the country and encourage academic excellence among our SUCs. The administration recognizes the equity in education development and promotes the integrity and independence of SUCs from political interference,” Abad said.
