Voucher program for SHS in peril due to DepEd budget
cuts

MANILA, Philippines — The Department of

Education (DepEd) on Friday
admitted that it is unsure whether it could
finance the payout under its senior
high school voucher program for the first
semester of school year 2021 to 2022
due to budget reduction.
During the senate hearing on the
agency’s proposed 2021 budget,
Sen.Sherwin Gatchallan asked about
DepEd’s capability to finance its
voucher program, which provides an
average of P18,000 to 1.3 million
students.
The voucher program was allocated
P13 billion under the National
Expenditure Program after the
Department of Budget and
Management (DBM) imposed the
downsizing of the budget to make way
for the free tertiary education,
Undersecretary Annalyn Sevilla said.
USec.Jess Mateo,head of DepEd’s voucher
program said the P13 billion is only enough to
fund the voucher program beneficiaries’ second
semester of the current school year.

“‘Yung P13 billion, P11 billion of that will be

enough to pay the second semester of this
school year 2020 to 2021. So which means only
P2 billion is left for the first semester [of next
year],” Mateo said.
“In other words, ‘yung school year 2021 to 2022
first semester, hindi pa siya sigurado?”
Gatchalian asked, to which Mateo answered in
the affirmative.

DepEd’s voucher program aims to suffice the

cost of schooling for qualified senior high school
students.
“Ang simple computation ko, with P13 billion,
we can only finance half of the 1.3 million
senior high school students,” said Gatchallan,
chairman of the Senate committee on basic
education, arts, and culture.

“So my simple question is, with P13 billion, we

know it is not enough. What is going to happen
with that amount of money? Are we going to
cut in half the senior high school voucher
program?” he asked.
