Accessible to all

My sister was a consistent first honor student during her elementary. In high school, she was consistently at the top percentile while engaging in extracurricular activities. At the beginning of her first semester in UP, she was tasked to deliver a speech at the convocation of more than 2000 new students. She is bright and her education is being threatened. This predicament is shared by thousands of SUC students and faculties. I call on all graduates of SUC’s to take a public stand against education budget cut.

Accessible education is a provision of the Philippine Constitution.

Section 1. The State shall protect and promote the right of all citizens to quality education at all levels, and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all.
