Luistro warns schools and officials who violate “no collection policy”

Education Secretary Armin Luistro called on all schools and officials to promptly release student clearances in order to facilitate enrolment for the incoming school year amidst reports on complaints from parents about teachers refusing to give clearances to students for failure to pay certain contributions.

“Given the magnitude of concerns faced by the department towards the realization of real reforms in the education system, it is all the more that wider cooperation and support from the entire bureaucracy, from the central office down to the school level, become essential. It is rather disheartening that based from reports, there are still a number of schools and teachers nationwide that make our “take-off” even harder,” Luistro said.
