Does school really matter?

[dr. d]

they are technically the top 150 students (not sure about the actual number now) in the Philippines

I would say +/- since not all parents/children want to work for the government after...

Back to the students...

They should be required to pay for their school fees...

Tax payer's money was spent for their education + board and lodging (and meals)!

from what i remember, top 240, cut up into different slices or regions of the country...

that would depend on the fine print in the contract they supposedly agreed to, when they signed up.

and i am not sure, if exclusively government service is the required requirement.
