Classes in some 78 private schools in the entire province will resume tomorrow ending the summer break for college, high school and elementary student in two private universities and five major colleges in the city.
University of Bohol and Holy Name University are both expecting a slight decrease in enrolment while Bohol Institute of Technology will see a higher enrolment level due to the massive campaign for free tuition to children of barangay captains.
Meanwhile, UB will be imposing a 10% hike in tuition fee while HNU implements a 26% increase.
The Department of Education, Culture and Sports (Deped) division office will still gather next week the enrollment figures in private schools especially for the college level as late enrollees are still expected to arrive next week
