Hi! I want to ask if its the same for College students? Because I have a cousin who is about to graduate in College. She's an HRM major in a Public school. They have this school trip to Palawan and they are being asked to pay Php 11k. They were told it was "required", if they cannot attend the said trip they are "required" to attend the next one which will be in Singapore. I'm the one who is putting my cousin thru College. I don't find any justification for shedding so much money and not giving the students another option which they can afford. I am helping out as much as I can but 11K is not a small amount. If I had that kind of money I would have enrolled her in a private school. I haven't spoken to any of their school admin regarding this issue because its such a pain to call them. They let their phones ringing and its never answered. So I'm at a loss on how to resolve this issue. And when I stumbled upon this forum, I thought to ask for your advice. I also emailed CHED and asked for assistance because this might affect my cousin's graduation. But I haven't heard from them yet. I am hoping you can shed some light to my dilemma. Any advice you can give me will be most appreciated. Thanks.
