VOTING 22-0-0, senators on Monday passed on third and final reading 17 measures including the bill prohibiting the imposition of the 'no permit, no exam' policy.
SB 1359 or the proposed 'No Permit, No Exam Prohibition Act' disallows private and public schools from barring students from taking examinations due to unpaid tuition and other school fees.The measure also forbids schools from compelling students and their parents or legal guardians to pay a portion of the outstanding financial obligation.
Instead, schools are encouraged to enforce other interventions such as withholding the release of diplomas or certificates, denying admission or enrolment in the succeeding school year or semester, refusing the issuance of applicable clearances, and pursuing the settlement of outstanding financial or property obligations through appropriate legal action.
