| dc.description.abstract | The paper explores the effectiveness of the free tuition implemented by the Free Higher Education program in 2017 through the comparison on the rates of enrollment. Data from the Annual Poverty Indicators Survey (APIS) conducted in 2016 and 2019 are used to empirically compare the significance of household income in the decision of enrolling household members in a university. The regression analysis conducted controls for factors available in the survey that could potentially influence a household’s decision to send a Filipino to college, such as scholarships and backgrounds of the parent. The study also covers the analysis on the inclination of a household towards private or public universities. The key findings of the study indicate that the current free tuition program is ineffective in achieving accessible college education for Filipinos, and that it may be benefitting higher income households. The results also imply that household income is still a crucial element in determining whether or not to let a member of the household receive college education. | |
