THE Commission on Higher Education will provide educational assistance to the dependents of the four Filipinos who died in the attack launched by Hamas against Israel.
CHED is coordinating with the Department of Migrant Workers on the grant of educational assistance to the qualified children or dependents of the slain OFWs. The assistance will be provided through the Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education law and the Tertiary Education Subsidy.
“The Commission is determining the actual number of dependents enrolled in college and their location so the appropriate assistance can be provided through the CHED Regional Offices,” the agency said.
On Thursday, the Department of Foreign Affairs confirmed that another Filipino was killed in an attack by the militant group Hamas in Israel.
CHED said the grant of educational assistance is in response to the mandate of President Ferdinand Marcos Jr. for the reintegration of repatriated Filipinos from Israel.
