Angara lauds CHED agreement with schools on free college education 1 SHARES Share it! The memorandum, Angara noted, would help college students in private schools to also benefit from the free college law or Republic Act 10931, which is also known as the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act. “Sa Free College Law, hindi na dapat maging hadlang sa pamilya ang malaking gastusin para makapagtapos sa pag-aaral ang kanilang mga anak, (Under the Free College Law, the high cost of education should not be a hindrance to families who wish their children to finish school),” he said. Aside from TES, Angara has also allotted P1-billion to help private school students who are not part of the beneficiaries of the Free College Law. Of the 300,000 slots, 151,819 are from the “Listahanan”—where 103,373 are students from public universities while 48,436 are from private universities.
