00:00The Department of Education is investigating ghost students in 12 private schools.
00:06They are the students listed in the Senior High School Voucher Program but they are no longer able to attend.
00:12Here is the first news, Raffy Tima.
00:14Ghost students, this is a story that is important in some schools, but the Department of Education is investigating it.
00:25They are the students who are not able to attend the 12 private schools listed in the Senior High School Voucher Program of the DepEd.
00:32The program is a financial help for the government to educate the Senior High School so that the DepEd will not be affected like the private schools.
00:40The incoming grade 11 students are given a voucher worth Php 14,000 to Php 22,500.
00:47Those who finished grade 10 in public schools will automatically receive it.
00:51It is necessary to apply if you are a graduate in a private school and the Education Service Contracting Program of the DepEd is not granted.
00:57The DepEd did not remind the private schools.
01:00Education Secretary Sanoy Angara said in an interview that the DepEd is taking the allegation seriously.
01:05He said that the wrong use of the funds for education will not be consented.
01:09The DepEd has a right against the ways to prove that there are ghost students, such as the removal of their accreditation.
01:17The DepEd is also studying the administrative and criminal sanctions that they can impose on any school personnel or officials.
01:25The DepEd will call on the public to report to them if there is any irregularity in the implementation of their programs.
01:32If the DepEd will be approved, it will help the real students who need help.
01:38This is the first news. Rafi Tima for GMA Integrated News.
