Education presently is characterized to be colonial, commercialized and
repressive. It is also discriminatory and exclusivist to people who can afford to
pay for high tuition.

system is affected by the increase in tuition and other fees and how the tuition
policy works for the advancement of students’ interests and basic rights.
The researcher used archival research, survey and interview to be able to
obtain the facts and relevant information needed. The materials obtained will be
used in analyzing the data gathered.
The researcher then came up with the conclusion that government
policies on education sector proved to be harmful and exacerbate the education
crisis in our country hence the need for an education that will serve the interest of
the masses - a service-oriented one.
The researcher made a recommendation on intensifying awareness
campaign in the universities to make the students abreast and to be able to act
and respond to issues at hand.
