Statement on the Application of Other Private Schools for Tuition Increase

Silliman University supports private schools seeking to adjust their tuition fees. This is because we believe that the adjustments are extremely needed to improve the quality of education they offer. This is also considering that unlike public schools, the educational services of private schools are financed mainly from tuition fees. We also believe that the need for the adjustments have been carefully considered by the schools as being critical to the welfare and well-being of all concerned, together – students, their parents, the faculty and staff, and potential employers who seek good Filipino graduates to help them move our economy and society. Silliman, however, is not adjusting its tuition and fees this year.
