00:00They are now consciously targeting and looking at who are those that apply and who are those that are admitted.

00:09We just finished a study of all the schools in Region 1, Region 8, and Region 12.

00:17We looked at the profile of those who took the exam and the profile of those who were admitted.

00:23So we want to see who are those that are able to get admitted.

00:28If we see that those in the margins, meaning the poorer households, graduates of public schools, children of cultural communities,

00:39pag nakikita natin na bumaba ba in percentage, the universities are starting to change their admission policies.

00:48So they make it more democratic. They consciously target that those from the margins will come in.

00:57So that's the equity dimension. Kasi pag nakapasok na sila sa school, maliban sa libre yung tuition at the Sirenius Peace,

01:06pwede na silang bigyan ng test at saka tulong-tulong. So mayroong dagdag na ayuda na pwedeng tumating sa kanila.

01:14The second element is, pag nakapasok na, what should the universities do to keep them in school?

01:22Kasi pwede na nakapasok tapos nag-drunk out naman. So we have to improve student services.

01:29Matami lang ginagawa yung mga schools niya. Yung University of Eastern Philippines,

01:35meron siyang libre lunch para sa mga magigirang ng mga estudyante.

01:40Andi dito ang presidente natin ng Central Philippines State University, si Donnalyn Morata.

01:47Pwede niya ding sabihin yung initiatives ng CPSU. And then our commissioner here, Commissioner Ranglupiz,

01:55was formerly president of Mariano Barbosa State University. Lahat sila ay gumagawa sila ng policies

02:02para alalayan yung mga estudyante galing sa mga magigirang ng pamilya, galing sa public schools.

02:10So we need to improve student services, dormitory policies for example.

02:15We may need to have additional catch-up classes for our students to keep them in school.

02:40Thank you for watching!
