The Philippine government has launched the Tulong Eskwela Program to provide financial assistance to low-income families with Senior High School (SHS) students. This initiative helps ease educational expenses, enabling more families to access quality education.
The program offers cash assistance to relieve financial pressures and support long-term educational success for youth. Families can receive PHP 3,000 to PHP 5,000 for school costs like tuition, supplies, and transportation.
As per recent updates, the program has allotted PHP 5.28 billion worth of cash aid to benefit over 1.3 million families nationwide.
