Trending: #BracketAKaNa shows UP students' dismay over new tuition scheme

Students from the University of the Philippines expressed on social media their dismay over the results of the school's Socialized Tuition System (STS) released late Monday.

#BracketAKaNa trended on Twitter Monday night after most of the students were designated into bracket A — referred to as the 'millionaire's bracket' — and will pay P1,500 per unit. The estimated tuition in this bracket is P30,000 — relatively high considering that UP is a public school.

Most of the tweets mock what students think is an unfair STS process. But despite the humor, many people see this as a legitimate protest against the STS.

The Socialized Tuition System is a tuition scheme in UP wherein the amount that a student will pay will be determined using various factors such as paying capacity of applicants and other socio-economic characteristics of their household.

Last year, the UP administration vowed to reform the socialized tuition system after the death of UP Manila freshman Kristel Tejada. She committed suicide allegedly due to her family's failure to pay for her tuition.
