Action On Education

1. ENSURE ACCESS OF THE FILIPINO YOUTH TO QUALITY HIGHER EDUCATION BY DEVELOPING REGIONAL EDUCATIONAL HUBS.

Improve access to quality higher education by pushing for legislation that mandates the development and maintenance of quality state universities and colleges in at least every region.

Proximity is an important factor in improving access to quality higher education.
