Such clustering is flawed in the sense that SUCs that are already considered as “leading” receive more funding (especially in the MOOE and CO components) than those in the lower tiers, leaving those with poor to average performance with even lower government subsidies.
Sa ganitong sistema, uunahing bigyan ng mas malaking pondo ang “high-performing” SUCs kaysa “underperforming SUCs.” May direktang epekto na ang palisiyang ito sa badyet ng SUCs sa taong 2013.
