PHILIPPINES-EDUCATION-PROTEST

College students throw a computer monitor off a balcony during a protest inside Polytechnic University of the Philippines (PUP) in Manila on March 18, 2013, following the apparent suicide of Kirstel Tejada, a first year student at the University of the Philippines (UP) who was forced to stop her studies due to financial hardship. Student activists will start a week-long mourning period for Tejada with a “black protest” against what they call are unjust tuition policies. Tejada was not able to pay her tuition last year, and last week was found dead in an apparent suicide. AFP PHOTO / NOEL CELIS
