Cebu Normal University (CNU), a historic institution known for its commitment to quality education, is now facing systemic challenges that undermine its mission and the rights of US, students.

Issues such as inadequate facilities, Repressive policies, and an imbalanced 75% online and 25% face-to-face learning setup have severely hindered student engagement, academic growth, and the overall pursuit of accessible and empowering education. These problems are not isolated but are symptoms of a broader crisis in the education system under a government that continues to neglect the needs of the youth and the Filipino people.

To address these pressing concerns, we, the students of CNU, demand the following:

RETURN TO 75% FACE-TO-FACE CLASSES NOW!

The 75% online learning setup is not quality education—it is a systemic failure that entrenches inequality and betrays the socio-economic realities of CNU’s student body. This modality disproportionately harms marginalized students—those from working-class families, rural communities, and urban poor households—who face insurmountable barriers to online participation. We demand face-to-face classes as a RIGHT, not a luxury. In-person learning is a battleground to reclaim education as a tool for liberation, not a factory producing docile workers for capitalist exploitation. The 75% online mandate is a betrayal of CNU’s duty to serve THE PEOPLE, not the elite.

24 HOURS ACCESS TO LIBRARIES AND WIFI!

Denying extended access to campus resources is a systemic injustice that disproportionately harms poor and working-class students. With classes running from 9 AM to 9 PM, students are left scrambling for study spaces—corridors, stairwells, or overcrowded homes—while the library closes its doors precisely when we need it most. If demanding for proper space is not yet feasible, utilizing library hours and Wi-Fi should be offered as an alternative to at least improve the quality of the students’ education by improving the accessibility of learning spaces.

INSTITUTIONALIZE TOWNHALL MEETINGS!

SSC, College Councils, SOs together with the entire Normalite student body is given a proper avenue to address the students’ needs directly to the Admin. The absence of democratic dialogue between the administration and students is a systemic failure that allows urgent issues to be buried under layers of bureaucracy. Without binding consultations, concerns like inadequate facilities, oppressive policies, and inequitable learning setups are delayed indefinitely or dismissed as trivial. We need institutionalized townhall meetings to expedite solutions, bypassing unnecessary bureaucratic delays and ensuring that student voices are not just heard but acted upon.
