tesda history

Back in 1927, the so-called Vocational Act was issued, which introduced the concept of technical-vocational education to the country.

The Aparri School of Arts and Trades (ASAT) was established in 1928 through Republic Act (RA) No.

In 1938, due to increasing enrollment, the Provincial Government constructed buildings for AVS which were unfortunately burned down but later on rebuilt.

In the summer of 1963, the Bureau of Vocational Education (BVE) was formed.

However, the creation of the Cagayan State University (CSU) in June 1978 through Presidential Decree (PD) 1436 effected the transfer of ASAT’s BSIT course, staff and facilities to the University.

Three years later, the Manpower Development Council (MDC) was established, which was later replaced by the National Manpower and Youth Council (NMYC). Another TESDA’s predecessor was the Bureau of Technical and Vocational Education (BTVE) founded in 1982.

Nevertheless, ASAT obtained its assessment and accreditation to offer basic secondary education and two-year technical-vocational education and training courses in 1986.

The fusion of the above offices was one of the key recommendations of the 1991 Report of the Congressional Commission on Education, which undertook a national review of the state of Philippine education and manpower development.
