“With 17, 751 Grade 11 students enrolled in state and local universities and colleges (SUCs and LUCs) who have not received vouchers for the current school year, the Department of Education (DepEd) extends the Senior High School Voucher Program until they finish the next school year.”
What Vera Files found
In July 2023, DepEd issued a memorandum informing SUCs and LUCs that the Grade 11 voucher program beneficiaries will no longer be accepted from their schools beginning school year 2023-2024, following the lapse of a 2015 agreement with the Commission on Higher Education allowing SUCs and LUCs to offer senior high school to help address DepEd's capacity issues.
