DepEd: Report unauthorized school collections

Department of Education (DepEd) Secretary Armin Luistro on Monday advised parents to report schools that are collecting unauthorized fees from students.

According to the DepEd website, the hotline numbers are:
Main Hotline: 636-1663

DepEd Text Messaging Service: 0919-4560027

E-Mail: action@deped.gov.ph

"Marami pa ang reklamo sa singil. Isa ito sa mga nalakap natin sa ating action center,"Luistro said in an interview over radio dzBB.

A dzBB report said one school, the Doña Rosario Elementary School, allegedly charged a P590 fee for "GPTA (General Parent-Teacher Association)."

"Kung may specific na karanasan maaring either punta sa superintendent o mag-text sila sa aming number sa central office para maaksyunan namin," Luistro said.

No collection policy

Under DepEd policy, there will be no collection, even if voluntary, for Grades I to IV.

For Grade V to fourth year high school, voluntary contributions can start only in August, and will include:
• Boy/Girl Scout fees, up to P50
• Anti-TB fund drive, P5
• Parent-Teacher Association fee, must be "reasonable" and subject to consultations, and
• School publication: P60 for elementary students and P90 for high school students.
