The committee on education, science and technology, culture and arts of the city council has set a hearing on November 14 on allegations that some private schools in the city are operating without a permit.
Committee chair Councilor Leah Librado-Yap scheduled the hearing after receiving several complaints against such schools.
Yap said she is encouraging other parents whose children are enrolled in illegal schools to immediately report to her office or write to the Department of education Region XI. By the way, the region has a total of 215 registered private schools for the school year 2011/2012.
There are also operating several (private) language schools without permit but claiming "to be accredited by CHED and/or DepEd".
