More universities propose tuition fee increase, students protest

More universities in the metro are now proposing increases in tuition fees.

These institutions, according to the National Union of Students in the Philippines (NUSP) hotline, include "University of the East (Recto and Caloocan), Lyceum University of the Philippines, Philippine School for Business Administration, Far Eastern University and University of Sto. Thomas."

In the University of the East-Manila, the administration proposed a 5-10% increase in tuition fee and another 200 pesos in the miscellaneous expenses. This led to a university-wide walkout of students on Wednesday to protest this planned hike.
