DepEd Secretary Jesli Lapus will implement a preventive suspension to those school officials who will be collecting fees that is no necessary this school year. DepEd Order No. 48 s. 2009 states that there will be absolutely no collection of fees during the enrolment period for pupils from preschool to Grade 4. DepEd still received complaints on forced collection of fees and students who refuse to pay are denied enrolment.
