This ordinance establishes the Balik Eskwela Program in Naga City to help tertiary education students from indigent or low-income families who were forced to stop their schooling due to unpaid tuition and school fees to re-enroll and complete their education.
The overarching goal is to get these students back into the educational system and assist them in migrating to scholarship programs or government educational institutions (SUCs/LUCs/TESDA centers) to enjoy free tertiary education.
