There will be no increase in tuition fees at the Bacolod City College for the next school year: 2011-1012, its Board of Trustees unanimously agreed Thursday .
This was reached with the full support of Bacolod City Mayor Evelio Leonardia, a City Hall press release said. The P30 per unit tuition fee at BCC is still the lowest among both private and public colleges and universities in Bacolod City and the province of Negros Occidental, it added. The P30 per unit tuition fee is the same rate that the BCC has charged since the college first opened in June 1998, during the first term of Leonardia as city mayor. Meanwhile, a resolution requesting the Bacolod City Administrator through the Office of the Mayor to initiate talks with the president of the University of Makati for a possible agreement with BCC for it to avail of the executive program for city employees, was recently passed by the Bacolod Sangguniang Panlungsod. The resolution authored by Councilor El Cid Familiaran said former Senator Aquilino Pimentel Jr., in his bid to establish the “School of Tomorrow” through his Institute of Integrity for Local Governance, came up with an executive program at the UMak that will enable government employees to have an academic degree, by converting their real-life experiences into course credits. The program states that UMak, through its “College for Government and Public Policy” can grant academic degrees to government employees by crediting their service experience, seminars and additional course programs in achieving their dream to earn a college degree, it said. The resolution said the program is open to other local government units, government employees who are at least 22 years old and have a work experience for five years.*CGS BY CHRYSEE SAMILLANO Visayan Daily Star
