No financial clearance required for students transferring to public schools — DepEd 2 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Merlina Hernando-MalipotStudents coming from private schools who wish to transfer or enroll at public schools should not be required to submit a “financial clearance,” the Department of Education (DepEd) clarified. DepEd, through Undersecretary Annalyn Sevilla, clarified that a “financial clearance” is “not a mandatory requirement” should a learner from private school chooses to enroll or transfer to a public school. “Financial clearance” refers to a document signed by the private school clearing the learner of any financial obligation such as unpaid tuition and other fees. Since these students still have financial obligations with their previous schools, the private schools do not release their school cards, which is a requirement for enrollment in public schools.
