Last August 2023, Hua Siong College of Iloilo (HSCI) Junior High School department received its recertification status from the Private Education Assistance Committee (PEAC) for Educational Service Contracting (ESC).

The re-certification ensures the continuation of the assistance received by both high school learners and teachers through different national subsidy programs.

Furthermore, PEAC certification has also helped HSCI in growing its number of learners by giving chances to many public school learners to enroll in the institution with aid from national subsidies such as the ESC Grant for Grade 7 learners and the Senior High School Voucher for incoming Grade 11 learners.

Aside from learners, annual subsidies are also given to qualified teachers in ESC-participating schools through the Teacher’s Salary Subsidy.

PEAC is a 5-member committee that serves as trustees for the Fund for Assistance to Private Education (FAPE), an unappealable and perpetual trust fund, that aims to assist private schools in the country.
