In a statement, Education Secretary Florencio Abad said parents  could not be prevented from enrolling their children if they fail to fork over fees charged by PTAs and Parent-Teacher Community Associations (PTCAs), which should be on a purely voluntary basis.


Violators of this rule will be placed under preventive suspension, he added.
