Almost all private schools here are heeding the call not to implement increases in tuition and other school fees.

Except for Holy Name University (HNU) and Informatics which has applied a 5-percent increase in tuition and miscellaneous fees, all other colleges have retained their old charges.

Only new enrollees however will be affected by the new matriculation fees of HNU. Continuing students will be charged with the old rates depending on the academic programs.

According to HNU Student Affairs Office (SAO) Director Nilo Bulawin, the reason for the increase in tuition and miscellaneous fee is for the improvement of school facilities and school maintenance.

The 5-percent increase applied by Informatics will raise their tuition charges to P447 per unit. Miscellaneous fees will depend on the courses enrolled by the student.

The University of Bohol, Bohol Institute of Technology International College (BIT-IC), STI Computer School and Cristal E in Panglao are not increasing their fees.

The Central Visayas State College for Agriculture, Forestry and Technology (CVSCAFT) that will soon be converted into a state university still has the lowest tuition fees.

First and second year students at CVSCAFT will pay P150 per unit including laboratory subjects.

BIT-IC assistant treasurer Hermesa Balite told the Chronicle that they will not be implementing a hike in school fees even with requests of salary upgrades from their professors and instructors.
