State of the Nation Address
July 24, 2023
President Bongbong Marcos underscored the administration’s higher education agenda for deserving students with no financial capacity to be able to attend school through the government’s #FreeHigherEducation program under the law of Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education (Republic Act 10931) during his second State of the Nation Address in the Second Regular Session of the 19th Congress at the Batasang Pambansa in Quezon City.
UniFAST implements the major programs under #RA10931 which also includes the #TertiaryEducationSubsidy-Tulong Dunong Program or TDP.
“We will not let a student’s financial constraints be a hindrance to his or her education. We have activated social safety nets such as skills development training and youth employment programs. Tertiary education in state universities and colleges will remain free for our qualified students. Last year, out of the 4.1 million enrolled college students, almost 50% were beneficiaries of the country’s Free Higher Education under the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education program. Deserving and talented students without the financial capacity to attend school will not be left behind in this education agenda.” – President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.
