00:00Fifty-five schools have already left the senior high school voucher program

00:05for GOE students and those who are involved in other issues.

00:08That is what the Ministry of Education recorded in a hearing in Camara Ngayong Araw.

00:12The details were recorded by Mela Lesmora.

00:17The Department of Education cried out for their continued support

00:21in the issue of GOE students following their senior high school voucher program.

00:26In the hearing of the House Committee on Basic Education and Culture,

00:30the DepEd Education Programs Management Office Project Manager, Atty. Tara Rama,

00:35recorded that they are continuing their own investigation in the issue.

00:38And for now, fifty-five schools have already left the voucher program

00:42due to ghosting and other issues.

00:56And we terminated another thirty-two schools for school year 2022 to 2023.

01:04That is the sum of our findings.

01:08And then for 2023-2024, we already have one terminated.

01:15And then under investigation is another twelve.

01:20The DepEd cannot yet say how much is the total amount of possible waste due to the issue of GOE students.

01:27But there are billing statements that they were not paid from their schools

01:32to stop the possible increase of this amount.

01:35For school year 2023-2024, we did not release around P200 million

01:42because there is a discrepancy.

01:45So we cannot say altogether that those are GOE students

01:49because it might be that they entered private school on the first few months

01:57and then afterwards, they left.

02:01The congressmen are determined to continue investigating the issue until it is resolved.

02:06They also assured the DepEd that the real needs should be included in the voucher program.

02:13We're talking about public funds here.

02:16For us, regardless of the agency or whoever is sitting there,

02:21we really need to be able to use the proper money from the government.

02:26Aside from this, the heat that we are experiencing right now is also evident from the hearing.

02:30Many students are affected by this.

02:34I hope that the DepEd's solution to the problem will not just be online classes.

02:40The agency also needs to...

02:42We have a long-term plan.

02:45We expect this to be an issue every year.

02:48While in the hearing, a resolution was also included in the committee

02:52that recognizes Gregorio De Jesus' patriotism and great commitment to society.

02:58In the next few days, we expect to discuss other important issues here in the camera.
