Watchful eyes of Davao City Cong.Karlo

Expensive books catch watchful eyes of Karlo


Davao Majority leader and house assistant Davao City congressman Karlo B. Nograles has appealed to the country's  especially in Davao colleges and universities not to aggravate the burdens of parents whose children are barely coping with the spiraling cost of tertiary and secondary  education by prescribing scandalously expensive textbooks.

"We have seen the green light given to educational institutions to increase tuition fees. Now, schools are compelling students to use books priced way beyond their parents' means. This is completely unacceptable,"  Congressman Nograles lamented.

The lawmaker said he continues to receive reports that schools are requiring the use of textbooks that are priced to the ceiling.

"I received reports that some books being required in a psychology subject in one school are priced at P10,000 each. Can you imagine the financial trauma that parents undergo if students would need two or three books within that price range?" Nograles surmised.
The lawmaker could not help but suspect the possibility of some sort of collusion between the institutions and book suppliers for reasons other than public service.

"I am confident that private higher education institutions look into the matter and review their respective programs/curriculum and explore alternatives that could help unburden parents," Nograles said.
He also asked the Commission on Higher Education to look into the matter.

"I am confident alternatives (to high-priced books) can be found," Nograles said, stressing that using books beyond the reach of the masses is hurting government's human development programs.
