MANILA, Philippines -- Good news for owners and operators of private tertiary schools nationwide but bad news for students and parents.

President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo recently gave private educators the go-signal to lift the ceiling on tuition and other school fees earlier imposed by the government, "provided there would be consultations with students, as well as the parents," top officials of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) quoted her as saying.

Arroyo arrived at the decision after a series of meetings with CHED, Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities (PACU) and the Coordinating Council for Private Educational Institutions (COCOPEA), among other groups.
