The result emphasized how the subsidy can be effectively managed while addressing the challenges and opportunities associated with it. The outcome disclosed that the program greatly improves private education accessibility and provides financial support to schools, but its effectiveness is impeded by a number of challenges. It discusses how administrators understand the increase in student enrollment and financial support, but worry about the delayed fund disbursement, strict compliance, and ambiguity of the long-term sustainability. These limitations result in operational challenges which hinder school budgeting and resource allocation. The study provides implications of these findings to some policymakers, educational institutions, and stakeholders.
