    The UP Diliman student population from admission to enrollment
    (2011-10) dela Cruz, Fatima Marie D.; Mangahas, Alanna Margarita F.; Tan, Edita A.
    The Program Development Staff of the Office of the President of the University, in a July 1976 Faculty Conference, approved the resolution: "That the University adopt and implement immediately a democratic admission policy to make its studentry more representative of the nation's population." The University resolved for a more democratized admission policy - admitting more students from lower socio-economic to one which better approximates the distribution of the Philippine population. The study looks into whether or not enrollment in the University reflects this. The socioeconomic background, residential location, and type of high school are found to influence the chance of passing the admission criteria of the University. Admission is based on weighted average scores - admissions test and average high school grades. An analysis of these variables is undertaken. The University also provides tuition subsidy based on family income and wealth under the Socialized Tuition and Financial Assistance Program. Trend analyses will be undertaken to see patterns that have emerged since the 2007 revision of the STF AP. Regression analysis will be used in order to identify the effects of different academic and socioeconomic variables on the probability of qualifying for UP Diliman. An applicant from a family that earns more than Pl.O million annually, from a UP-administered high school, from NCR, and has high high school grades has the highest chance of qualifying.

    An analysis of the post-secondary education sector in the national capital region: relevance of tuition fee increases to enrollment
    (2005-10) Caparas, Carissa S.; EspiƱo, Vanessa T.; Tecson, Gwendolyn
    This paper evaluates whether tuition fee increases in the years 2000-2005 significantly affected the freshmen enrollment rate in selected thirty private colleges and universities in the National Capital Region. The sample was selected based on their accreditation status. The authors used multiple linear regression in evaluating the data. Based on the empirical results of this study, tuition fee increases in the said schools caused significant changes in the freshman enrollment rates. With the presence of tuition fee increases, there is a corresponding decrease in the number of freshman enrollees. The study hopes to inform the public of the actual behavior exhibited by enrollment rates and tuition. Now more than ever, the authorities concerned will have to take the said relationship into consideration as they implement rules to the ever-growing number of higher educational institutions in the country.

    Education and democracy: a cross-country analysis of the effects of gross enrollment ratio on political rights
    (2010-01) De Jesus, Ma. Carmela; Octaviano, Leslie Anne
    This study provides empirical support to the intuition presented by Castello-Climent in questioning the suitability of the average years of schooling as a measure of education in examining the correlation between education and democracy. An alternative variable, the gross enrollment ratio, is introduced to provide a more distributive analysis by distinctly identifying the impact of the primary, secondary and tertiary levels. The contribution made by Seymour Martin Lipset (1959) provides the main theoretical premise that the level of development and education directly affects democracy. Existing literature shows how formal education creates political attitudes that are conducive to democratic behavior and increases the likelihood to maintain a democratic system by encouraging rational electoral choices. Lastly, this study draws on the effect of education on political participation, which serves as a crucial determinant of the sustainability of a democratic system.
