Class conflict: Preparations, debate over school opening
June 13, 2020 – 2:07pm
The Alliance of Concerned Teachers Philippines urges to protect the private school teachers amid low enrollment turnout.
“If enrolment will continue at this rate, we may have less than a million learners in private schools for this school year, which may mean thousands of school closure, especially small ones that are unable to continue operation due to the lack of sufficient funds from tuition and other miscellaneous fees,” says ACT Secretary General Raymond Basilio.
“This in turn will lead to massive lay-offs of education workers,” the group says.
