00:00Meanwhile, it was discussed in a hearing on camera the recent visit of G.O.A.S.T. students

00:05or the students listed in the Senior High School Voucher Program

00:09even though they do not have a school record, are not qualified, and did not apply for the program.

00:16Tina Panganiban Perez brought the news.

00:22Due to several questions,

00:23the 200 million Pesos Fund for the Senior High School Voucher Program

00:28was not issued by the Department of Education for the school year 2023-2024.

00:34This is what the DepEd said in a hearing of the House Committee on Basic Education and Culture

00:39regarding the G.O.A.S.T. students who are affected by the program.

00:43Since 2021, 55 students have left the DepEd

00:48in the Senior High School Voucher Program.

00:5112 are being investigated now.

00:54Those schools have different findings.

00:59Not only those students who do not have a school record or no class attendance

01:07but also those who are unqualified voucher recipients.

01:12Unqualified because they're supposed to apply via the voucher application program

01:20but they did not apply.

01:23The private schools categorized them as automatic grantees.

01:27DepEd has yet to say how many G.O.A.S.T. students are included in the Senior High School Voucher Program.

01:35The voucher program was implemented to help private schools

01:40for students who cannot apply for DepEd

01:43due to the large number of students and the lack of facilities.

01:48According to DepEd, beneficiaries in the Junior High School received P9,000 to P13,000.

01:56While in the Senior High School, P14,000 to P22,500.

02:02In 2024, P40 billion was allocated for the DepEd voucher program.

02:08Almost the same for 2025.

02:11Some parents and teachers complained

02:14that it was unfair for the beneficiaries to choose

02:18because some of them were able to get the voucher.

02:21Because in their school, the priority is P100,000.

02:25If you apply for that voucher, they will be able to get it.

02:29So they were able to get it.

02:31But for those who are not able to get it, they are pitiful.

02:35There are also more students who have doubts about studying.

02:38For us, Fly-by-Night Senior High Schools,

02:44especially in Kamanaban,

02:47they offer incentives to public schools.

02:51They will give incentives to each head who will enroll in their high school.

02:55It's just because we only have a few private schools.

02:59It's a bit tiring, Mr. Chair.

03:01We are looking at filing criminal cases.

03:04The committee decided that only 10% of the students who will enroll in the program

03:09will monitor the program.

03:11DepEd and PAYAC's answer is that their objective is to reach 100%.

03:17That's their moving forward objective.

03:20I guess it will be on their next academic calendar.

03:25But again, it's impossible for it to reach 100%.

03:28But at least we saw a significant increase.

03:31DepEd assured that it is studying on how to implement the voucher program.
