Ched urged to look into OJT abuse abroad

MANILA — Vice President Jejomar Binay wrote the Commission on Higher Education (Ched) on Tuesday asking it to investigate reports of students of hospitality courses who are given training allowance but are being made to work full time abroad.
Binay said the victims of the unfair scheme are Hotel and Restaurant Management (HRM) students undergoing on-the-job training in countries like Singapore, where they are paid less than the minimum wage or not at all.
“I find this alarming considering our laws governing overseas employment and youth welfare, among others,” the Vice President said in his letter to Ched Chairperson Dr. Patricia Licuanan.
Binay, who is also the Presidential Adviser on OFW Concerns, said the training allowance does not fully compensate the students who are being given actual work instead of being given training, which normally takes three to six months.
Previous allegations have been made that foreign establishments have been using the OJT program to circumvent minimum wage laws.
On April, the United Kingdom tightened its issuance of student visas because many foreigners, including Filipinos, are allegedly using it to gain employment there.
Under the new setup, students will only be allowed to work during the school term for 10 hours a week instead of the previous 20. (Virgil Lopez/Sunnex)
