Why does Education have to cost so much?
Here in the Philippines, education for some is a luxury. Each year, the cost of putting a child through college is getting higher and higher. Not all could afford it. Some parents could only afford to put their child in school until high school and thats is by enrolling them to public schools.
When I was in college, my tuition fee would reach up to Php16,000 per semester. Although the unit that I enroll to decreases every semester, the prices does not decrease. Like most Filipino family, I almost didn't finish college because of the tuition. Good thing I was able to acquire an athletic scholarship.
The commission on higher education (CHED) could not regulate the tuition fee increase. Year by year, the tuition fee of private schools increase to a certain percentage. I think every parent like me is wondering how much it would cost to put a child to college 15 years from now. Not to mention that a child would have to go through six years of high school now. Just like CHED, the Department of Education (DEPED) does not seem to have the power to stop the yearly tuition fee increase for private school in high school. The purpose of having additional two year in high school according to DEPED is so that students would be more equip in their decision making on what course to take in college.
Here's another thing to think about. Having a college degree doesn't gurantee a graduate a good job. It doesn't even gurantee them of getting any job. Competition is stiff and the number of graduating students is high as well. Every year a lot graduate end up being unemployed.
If the tuition fee per semester in college would be around thirty thousand pesos today. It would be possible that it would double or even triple in the next 15 years. You have to also factor the cost of living by that time. Private schools are treating education as a business. I know that are a lot of issues that the government is facing. But shouldn't regulating tuition fee be one?

I think the modern eduction style is going more luxuries and that's every high level institute is concentrating to make there study environment more comfortable. It is a bad thing in the if they concentrate on the study level which they are providing and leave there focus on luxuries environment so we can make a good future of the student and it take very low cost...
