Kabataan ang pag asa ng Bayan – RIZALwe would like to inform you that on Feb26,2010 - there will be a tuition fee consultation at Tower62, 5pm which the upcoming tuition fee increase would be discussed. we would like to ask for your sympathy against any increase on our tuition fee.
as the admin says, one of their reasons why they should increase their tuition is because of the newly acquired “Autonomous” Status of our school. wherein they say that a school with such status can no longer be bothered by CHED, specifically on tuition fee increases.
but that reasoning is not true, because, the CHED cannot intervene with JRU(w/ its Autonomous Status) on opening on new courses only. it doesnt mean that having the Autonomous Status would be their reason for any increase on our tuition. but what’s happening is, they, the school admin – is using the school’s autonomous status to gradually increase our tuition again.
we should not confer to that. we as students, can only guard our good education by preventing such tuition fee increases. a simple logic : if the school, once again increase its tuition – that would be a burden to our parents. and the trend of drop out rates on our university will gradually increase again. is that the quality and good education they are bragging? yes, we got “the gold standard of academic excellence”, but by what measures? by increasing tuition fee which would cause us to stop come next academic calendar 2010-2011?
we have to do something. and yes, we can do something.
we are inviting you participate on our BLACK SHIRT DAY on Febryary26, 2010 at the our school campus. and also, there will be a massive mobilization at the front of our school wherein students from different academe in Metro Manila will conduct a program as a sign of solidarity to us Rizalians.
because of our schools repressive orientation, we understand that there are some fears on your thoughts, if you cant join the mobilization at the front of our school, you can express your sympathy by wearing black shirt on that said date(Feb26). you could also watch the program at the front of our school at around 4:30 – 5:00pm.
Remember :
1.Black shirt day on Feb26 2010 as a sign of protest against our schools tuition fee increase.
2. Make the Tution Fee Consultation Public!
We would also want to tell you that the consultation that will happen on Feb26 is only limited to central student council heads and org heads. that is so few compared to the nearly 9000 students of our school. what if, all of them are biased at our schools tuition fee increase? should we be the one to carry the burden? that is why we are demanding that the tuition fee consultation should happen in a public place, somewhat like the quadrangle wherein the majority of the students wil be the audience.
lets fight the massive commercialization on our school!
let us fight against Tuition Fee and Other Increases!
Black Shirt Day on Feb26!
with solidarity,
KabataanPartylist, JRU
Marahil ay lingid sa atin na merong “Financial Crisis” na kinakaharap ngayon, hindi lang sa malalaking bansa tulad ng US kungdi ng buong mundo Ngunit kahit na anong mga artipisyal at panandaliang solusyon ang ginagawa dito ay hindi parin maitatago ang pagsasara at pagkalugi ng malalaking kumpanya kabilang dito ang tatlong dambuhalang automotive companies sa US : ang FORD, CHRYSLER at ang GENERAL MOTORS na pinakahuling nagpahayag ng pagka-bankrusy. Mahigit 100 sangay narin ng Starbucks ang nagsara sa US noong Nobyembre pa lamang. Sa European Union tinatayang malakihang tanggalan ng trabago sa North Eastern England, sa Germany may 10-15% ang inaasahang mawalan ng trabaho sa mga automative companies. Kaya hindi natin ikagugulat kung bakit libo-libong mga Overseas Filipino Workers ang nagsisiuwian sa Pilipinas. Tinatantyang mas malala pa ito kaysa sa nangyaring Great Depression noong late 1920-1930′s itoy ayon narin sa mga financial analysis ng ibat ibang bansa. Kung ating susuriin ito’y nagsimula pa sa high-tech bubbles sa Amerika noong 1995 na kung saan ang pagiinvest sa teknolohiya at internet bilang isang uri ng negosyo na tumatagal lang ng 5taon at tuluyang pagkalugi. Sinundan naman ito ng sinasabing Subprime Mortage/Housing bubbles at ang pagkalugi at pagsasara ng Wall Street Investment Bank Lehman Brothers. Malawakan narin ang pagsasara ng kumpanya at tanggalan ng mga manggagawa sa loob ng ating bansa. Isa na rito ang pagsasara ng INTEL Corp. Isa sa pinakamalaking pagawaan ng computer chip sa buong mundo. Dahil sa pagsasara ng kanilang plata sa Malaysia, Philippines at United States, mahigit 60,ooo I.T employers ang tinatayang mawawalan ng trabaho sa Pilipinas at kasabay din nito ay ang pagsasara narin ng mga Call Center sa ating bansa. Hindi ligtas sa krisis ang mga kabataan at estudyante, dahil gaganapin nanaman ang Tuition Deliberation ng mga pribadong paaralan sa buwan ng Pebrero at lubos na magpapahirap ito sa mga kabataang estudyante dahil ipipilit ng mga edukador kapitalista ang pagtataas ng tuition at kung hindi man ay pagdagdag at pagtaas sa mga miscellaneous fees at pagpasok ng mga bagong kurikulum. Inaasahan pa sa taong 2010 ay magiging limang taon na ang ilalagi ng mga estudyante sa kolehiyo sa kabila nang walang kasiguraduhan kung meron pabang trabahong makukuha ang mga estudyante sa kanilang pagtatapos. Nariyan din ang pagabanduna ng gobyerno sa mga State University at Colleges.
