Tarlac State University (also referred to as TSU) is a chartered public institution of higher education located in Tarlac City, Philippines. Established in 1906, it is the center for academic excellence in the province offering different degree programs through its ten colleges and three campuses. Providing one hundred years of educational service to the people of Tarlac and the Central Luzon region, it started its humble beginning as an elementary trade school progressing to a secondary school. Later, it became a collegiate technical school and then a full-fledged state college (Tarlac College of Technology). On October 13, 1989, it was converted to a state university by virtue of Republic Act No. 6764. The Tarlac State University sits on a Level III-A status awarded by the Joint Committee of the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) and the Department of Budget and Management (DBM) in recognition of its excellent instruction, active involvement in research programs and community-wide extension services.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=https://www.tsu.edu.ph/media/210423/annualreport2009.pdf )〕 Most of its curricular programs are accredited by the Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP).〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.hcmieducation.com/TSU.php )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://aaccupqa.org.ph/TarlacStateUniversity.html )〕 It is mandated to provide advanced instruction in literature, philosophy, the sciences, and the arts, and also to offer professional and technical training courses. To enhance academic sector, the syllabi of the various course subjects adopted the outcomes-based education (OBE) format prescribed by CHED which resulted to a better performance of its students and graduates. TSU is the first university among other State Universities and Colleges (SUC) with a government authority to conduct Transnational Education Programs. It has established international linkages with some colleges and universities in Asia.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tsu.edu.ph/intl/intlProgram.asp )〕 ==History== Tarlac State University (TSU) was established in the same time that public education was developed in the Philippines. Its origin could be traced as early as 1906 as one of the trade schools offering industrial and vocational courses in selected regions. This was in pursuit of the American colonial government’s policy of laying the groundwork for a western-oriented educational system in the country. In 1909, TSU, then the Tarlac Trade School, began to open its doors to high school students. By 1921, it had evolved into a full-fledged secondary school. From 1931 up to the start of World War II, it was annexed to Tarlac High School.〔 After the war in 1946, it was separated from Tarlac High School, and in 1959, the Congress of the Philippines approved House Bill 1006 converting the Tarlac Trade School into the Tarlac School of Arts and Trades (TSAT) which began to offer collegiate technical education courses with Manuel T. Espinosa becoming its first superintendent. In 1965, by virtue of Republic Act 4337, TSAT acquired its status as a college, the Tarlac College of Technology (TCT). Among other provisions, the law called for the merging of TSAT with Tarlac National Agricultural School in Camiling, Tarlac.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url= http://laws.chanrobles.com/republicacts/44_republicacts.php?id=4341 )〕 Dr. Mario Manese was appointed as its first president (1965-1972), who introduced teacher education and engineering courses. Prof. Jack Smith replaced Dr. Manese in 1972 as the president. In 1974, TCT’s Institute of Agriculture was made into a separate state college to be known as Tarlac College of Agriculture. Smith saw its expansion as a state college, particularly with the acquisition of a 10-hectare lot in Barrios Ungot and Maliwalo that came to be known as Lucinda Campus and which eventually became the site of the Laboratory School and various agro-industrial projects of the institution. TCT expanded its curricular offerings, including a graduate school program leading to the degree Master of Arts in Education in 1976. Dr. Ernesto Cosme was designated as the Officer-in-Charge (OIC) in September 1984, eventually becoming the TCT’s third and last president. It was during his administration that R.A. 6764 was signed into law by then President Corazon Aquino on October 13, 1989, converting TCT into Tarlac State University (TSU). The conversion was made possible through the sponsorship of Congressmen Jose Cojuangco, Jr., Jose Yap and Hermie Aquino.〔 During Dr. Cosmes’s stay in TCT and TSU, further expansion of physical structures and academic programs occurred. Modern buildings rose on the 1.2-hectare Main Campus and 10-hectare Lucinda Campus and additional programs were opened. On August 8, 1990, the TSU Board of Regents (BOR) appointed Dr. Alejandro Fernandez, formerly a professor in the University of the Philippines, as the first president of TSU. During this time, TSU was able to acquire its eight-hectare lot for a third campus in San Isidro under a 50-year lease contract with the provincial government. Upon the end of the term of Dr. Fernandez, Graduate School Dean Dr. Priscilla Viuya was appointed as OIC from February 28 up to mid-September 1994. On September 14, 1994, TUP Professor Dr. Rodolfo Baking, was appointed by the BOR as the second president of the university. Like his predecessors, his administrative policies were geared towards the upgrading of academic standard and the offering of curricular programs that will cater to the development needs of the government and the private sector. Unfortunately Dr. Baking was not able to finish his term. On December 5, 1996, the board designated Dr. Dolores G. Matias, Vice-President (VP) for Academic Affairs, as OIC. As OIC, she steered the University into attaining its visions and missions of offering relevant quality education to the people of Tarlac and its neighboring provinces. Dr. Matias was appointed as the third University President by the BOR on March 25, 1998. In 2001, a streamlined organization structure made and implemented as soon as Dr. Matias assumed into office resulted in a functional and revitalized university organization. A new awareness on the function, roles and responsibilities of each office from the top down to the deans and directors created a new sense of leadership and accountability. During her incumbency, several programs offered by the university attained accreditation status, the passing average in the board examination of the graduates improved, and other courses were opened. The student population during this time increased to more than 10,000.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.tsu.edu.ph/about-tsu/history/ )〕 Dr. Priscilla C. Viuya, VP for Academic Affairs during Dr. Matias' term, became the fourth University President starting from March 26, 2006. As president, she has taken steps to introduce new programs and build a stronger international profile. These measures were linked closely to the university's vision of maintaining a culture of excellence in instruction and research by promoting quality higher education programs for people empowerment and professional development. Her term ended on March 25, 2014 and Dr. Louella F. Ona, VP for Research, Extension, Production and Development, was appointed as OIC. On March 31, 2014, Dr. Myrna Q. Mallari, former VP for Administration and Finance, was appointed by the Board of Regents as the fifth President of Tarlac State University. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tarlac State University」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
