“The state shall assign the highest budgetary priority to education…”(Art. XIV, Sec 1 of Philippine Constitution). Ironically, the biggest chunk on our national budget (20-40%) goes automatically to the payment of debts.
The LTHEDP* is consistent to the recommendations of the IMF-World Bank. After Cory Administration entered into Structural Adjustment Program, the scheme of G-8 nations led by the U.S., neo-liberal policies of privatization of government assets, liberalization of the economy(being open to dictates of capital) and deregulation of government intervention, were gradually implemented by all the succeeding administration including P-Noy.
DRSUS is essentially rationalization. In guise of efficiency and fiscal autonomy it is actually the implementation of the impositions of International Monetary Fund-World Bank (IMF-WB) in exchange of the debts we incurred to them.
SCUs should be at the forefront on the debates and resolutions of the nation’s problems and potentials. Thus, it should be prioritized; however the state’s agenda on education manifests its deliberate abandonment of its responsibility. SCUs will eventually cease to its very existence of producing productive individuals sensitive to the needs of the society.
Clearly, education becomes even more commercialized and inaccessible especially to the increasing number of marginalized sector of the country.
DRSUS is not only an issue of the USEP community or of the other 3 state colleges but also of the people in general. It will further the crisis on education and hinder our aspiration for democratization and national progress, development and sovereignty.
We USEPians, as “iskolar ng bayan” have suffered long enough. We will not allow DRSUS to further insult and violate our rights.
USEPians along with the Filipino youth, the forebears of the future will unite and assert our right to education!
No to state abandonment of the education sector!
Greater state responsibility to social services!
Stop commercialization of education!
Struggle for a nationalist, scientific and mass-oriented education system!
Reject DRSUS!
