Expanding the basic education system to 12 years will definitely cost a lot.
Aquino's education team admits that an investment of close to P100 billion, or P20
billion a year from 2011 to 2017, will be needed to build additional schools and
classrooms, hire more teachers, buy more textbooks and equipment, and pay for
operating expenses.
These figures do not even include the necessary funding for the additional one
year of universal pre-schooling that Aquino also wants to implement during his
term. According to his team's own estimate, this could cost P9.6 to P11.1 billion a
year.
"Families will have to bear additional costs whether in public or private schools.
The real argument though should be that the additional two years of basic
education/schooling should translate into better chances at a good university
education or work," says Luz.
