The law on schools and students. / by Amado Dizon.

It is the purpose of this book to help school administrators realize that end by presenting in this modest work the basic principles of law and pertinent decisions of Philippine and American courts and administrative bodies, as well as the educational and philosophical basis of certain aspects of education, which may help provide certain guidelines in dealing with student problems. It also intends to help the students and even the public sectors interested in student-school relations to draw the line between rights and obligations, reason and unreason, and between freedom and abuse of that freedom for the sake of peace and harmony so essential to common welfare. This work proceeds according to the essential services of educational institutions, from what the author considers the most essential-to the lesser ones. The first chapter lays down the legal basis underlying the establishment of schools-public and private-and follows to discuss the various areas of student activities such as admission and retention, discipline and due process, student records and their nature, campus organizations and publications, tuition and other fees, scholarship and loans, and academic freedom and its limitations. Understandably because of the scope and relative significance of the subject, two chapters deal with the right of students to strike, picket, or demonstrate. One special feature is the last chapter which contains a digest of court decisions and administrative opinions on educational matters not otherwise covered in the previous chapters. The appendices include some basic educational laws as handy reference materials.
