LTO to require 15 hours of training for student's permit
The Land Transportation Office (LTO) on Friday said aspiring drivers need to undergo 15 hours of training in an accredited driving school before securing a student's permit.
The LTO licensing section chief said in a report that implementing this additional requirement can also help in assessing the performance of the future drivers, as well as pinpointing errant instructors.
The LTO also announced that in addition to the 15-hour requirement it would be setting up its own driving schools in each region.
"Hindi ka basta basta uupo sa manibela na parang nanghula o nakakuha lang instructions sa kapitbahay, sa kapatid, sa magulang. Dadaan ka sa instructor mismo," said LTO chief.

The agency also said it aims to provide affordable driving classes through the schools.
The LTO said that the agency planned to implement this additional requirement for student drivers starting April.
