Apayao State College
BRIEF HISTORY OF APAYAO STATE COLLEGE
APAYAO STATE COLLEGE had its humble
beginnings in July 1, 1971 when Conner
Vocational High School (CVHS) was established in
Ripang, Conner. Sometime in 1974, the
school was transferred to its permanent site in a 4.8 hectare lot donated by
the late Albert Bengan and Sabas Gorospe.
In 1976, two-year technical courses were introduced to meet the
occupational requirements of the community.
The site was later expanded in 1982 with the purchase of a 2.97 hectare
adjacent lot.
CVHS was later
transformed into Kalinga-Apayao School of Arts and
Trades (KASAT) through
an executive order in 1978. Aside from
its secondary and non-degree programs, KASAT
included a degree course –Bachelor of Secondary Education—in its
curricular offerings.
Sometime in 1993, in response to the
educational needs of adjacent and nearby municipalities, KASAT extension campus
was established in San Isidro, Luna, Apayao.
To house the extension campus, the then Luna Academy, a private
secondary school, was acquired through congressional development fund.
Because education is a never-ending process,
so was the progress of the school. In
response to the growing dependence on science and technology, a call was made
to elevate further the status of KASAT.
Hence, in 1994, KASAT was turned into Apayao Institute of Science and Technology (AIST) under the supervision of the
Commission on Higher Education. As the onlyinstitution for
higher learning in the province, AIST expanded its curricular programs to include
Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, Architecture and Forestry.
Following the separation of Apayao from
the province of Kalinga in 1995, AIST was later elevated into APAYAO STATE COLLEGE in February 1998 pursuant to Republic Act 8563.
