04:21Four out of ten Filipino college students drop out or can't finish their studies.
04:27According to the report of the 2nd Congressional Commission on Education,
04:30that's contrary to the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act.
04:36Breaking news by Niko Wahe.
04:42Gabby was a pre-med student from 2016 to 2017.
04:46But it stopped.
04:47She shifted to ABN Communication and transferred to another school in 2017.
04:53But when it came to 2019, when she was already in her 4th year,
04:56and she was only going to finish one semester,
04:58she completely stopped her studies.
05:01I couldn't support my studies.
05:06I'm not a priority.
05:08There are people who want to help Gabby study.
05:11Someone offered to pay her tuition.
05:14Expenses for group projects and my daily food expenses,
05:23I really can't afford it.
05:24Because when I was in college, my daily food expenses were P100.
05:30Even for massages, it's all gone.
05:33There's only P30 left for me.
05:37I struggle with what I eat.
05:40Kwek-kwek, things like that.
05:42Being a working student is an option.
05:45The case is...
05:46Maybe my body can't take it.
05:48But I have friends and workmates who are actually doing their studies and work at the same time.
05:56Well, I can see their physical state and mentality.
06:04They are very strong.
06:06Because if I'm in their situation, I can't do it.
06:09My mentality is not that strong.
06:13Julia stopped her studies in college in 2012.
06:17She admitted that her parents were having a hard time paying her tuition in the Information Technology course.
06:22I feel that although they don't tell me technically,
06:27my parents are forcing me even though I know that they are having a hard time.
06:31They are in debt.
06:32They are really in debt.
06:34Her reason for stopping her studies was added when she was pregnant.
06:38Those like Gabby and Julian,
06:41are among the top college dropouts in the Philippines.
06:45According to the report of the 2nd Congressional Commission on Education of EDCOM 2,
06:50four out of every 10 Filipino college students stopped their studies in college.
06:55Because they need to work.
06:57That's the main reason we saw.
07:00The other reason here is the lack of engagement.
07:03They are not engaged in their studies.
07:07There are still a lot of financial reasons.
07:10Their money is not enough to continue their studies.
07:14On the other hand, the Free Higher Education Law or Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education.
07:20It provides free tuition to state universities and local universities.
07:25But we know that the expenses are heavy when it comes to college.
07:28It's the allowance, transportation, food, lodging, projects.
07:34There are a lot of expenses that they need to look for resources.
07:38The top college dropout is the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao or BARM,
07:45which has a 93.4 percent dropout rate.
07:48Poverty rates are still worse or severe in BARM.
07:53But the other two reasons I see is that peace and order is still an issue in some areas of BARM.
07:59We cannot ignore that reason.
08:02There are more private schools than state universities in BARM.
08:06That's why there's less benefit of free tuition there.
08:09Those who live in poor areas have no easy access to higher education if there's no SUC in the area.
08:16Because the LGU cannot build an LUC.
08:20Edcom has a call to higher education schools.
08:23Let's think about how we can be more open to developments like this.
08:28Maybe part-time students, night classes, Saturday classes,
08:34especially now that we've tried distance education,
08:38let's do our best to make our higher education system inclusive
08:43and welcoming to students like this.
08:47Nico Aje, reporting for GMA Integrated News.
08:52We asked our netizens what they think is the possible solution
09:00to reduce the number of students who stop studying.
09:03Ray Nansenio said,
09:05funding and strengthening the TESDA or Technical Education and Skills Development Authority
09:11for families who cannot afford to send their children to school.
09:16Ken Gubalane said,
09:19strengthening free higher education in all state colleges and universities.
09:25Increase the number of scholarships for those who have higher tuition.
09:30For Army SE,
09:32fix the basic education.
09:34After K-12, it should be employable.
09:38So that even if they don't go to college, they have enough skills to work.
09:43Diana Hernani said,
09:45remove the Senior High School so that the number of students who study will not decrease.
