Teddy pours in P5M for Mandaue school
MAYOR Thadeo Ouano has allowed the Mandaue City College to disburse P5.16 million for its first year of operation, mostly for personnel services.
The amount will be taken from the City Government’s appropriation for the school and from its collections for the school year.
Ouano, in his Executive Order 1-A dated Jan. 2, 2006 but released only last week, fixed the salary of faculty members teaching undergraduate subjects at P200 per hour. Those teaching graduate studies will receive P300 per hour.
The MCC president will receive P30,000 monthly salary, while the vice presidents, deans, directors and chairmen will each receive P10,000 every month.
Budget share
EO 1-A allocated P3.11 million for personnel services, P1.1 million for capital outlay and P960,000 for maintenance and other operating expenses.
The ordinance establishing MCC has set aside P5 million for the school’s operation.
EO 1-A also established MCC’s tuition at P100 per unit and other miscellaneous fees, but subject to confirmation by its MCC board of trustees.
A different schedule of tuition and other fees shall be prepared and applied to non-resident enrollees.
Priority
The order provides that local residents are given priority in admission to MCC but residents from neighboring towns and cities may be admitted but only if there are available slots.
The existing Integrated Technology and Entrepreneurial Development (Ited) is now integrated into MCC.
The short-term technical and vocational courses offered under Ited can be accredited by MCC, through a “ladder-type curricular scheme.”
This means that a successful enrollee can get a certificate upon completion of a two-year study or, even a diploma, upon completion of the required four-year study.
More courses
In addition to the existing short-term Ited courses, the following one-year training courses are also offered: automotive mechanics, drafting, dressmaking, practical electricity, radio and television mechanic, refrigeration and airconditioning mechanic, welding and fabrication.
MCC president Paulus Mariae Cañete told Sun.Star Cebu earlier that they intend to enhance the skills of existing Ited trainors so they can be eventually converted into regular faculty members of MCC.
For now, MCC has 16 faculty members, six of whom are serving on a full-time basis.
Explain
Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila president Benjamin Tayabas, Dr. Tio Jacob and Dr. Ceferina Taringting, who are all from the Association of Local Colleges and Universities, will appear before the City Council on Tuesday to explain the benefits of immediately converting MCC into a university status.
Cañete wants the newly opened city-owned school to be converted into a university now while there are still no guidelines setting its limitations. (ROV)
