The proposed nationwide entrance test for higher education should focus more on equity to ensure that poor students would have

better chances of admission to state universities and colleges , Commission on Higher Education chairman Prospero de Vera III said.

“Those who pass the UPCAT are students coming from relatively richer families from urban areas who have the money to do review classes, who are more prepared to pass the admission test. Is that the admission test we want in this country?” De Vera said in a television interview. In Diokno’s proposal, the “score of the examinee will determine which SUC and its campus he or she will be assigned.”
