A
BRIEF HISTORY OF THE COLLEGE
BAYAMBANG POLYTECHNIC COLLEGE: MAKING HISTORY FOR A
BETTER FUTURE
Bayambang has long been known as a
cradle of education. Since the founding of the Bayambang Normal School-now the
Pangasinan State University- the town has produced thousands of leachers and
professionals in other fields such as nursing, information technology, etc.
Needless to say, education plays an Important role in the history of the
municipality. After all, what better way is there to safeguard a better future
than through education.
For decades, Bayambang was a
promising option for incoming college students from all over Pangasinan,
especially those wanting to pursue a career in education. This poses a problem
because the Pangasinan State University can only accommodate a limited number
of students every year. Out of 12 high schools in Bayambang, there is only one
university where students can continue their studies for the achievement of
their dreams of gaining a diploma. This has led to the realization of the Local
Government Unit that, despite the quality and competence of the PSU in
producing professionals, the municipality lacked higher education institutions
for Bayambangueños. Thus, for the first time since the founding of the
Bayambang Normal School in 1922. Bayambang will be opening a new college. The
LGU Is establishing the Bayambang Polytechnic College -- an LGU-owned and
operated college that aims to provide comprehensive, high quality,
collaborative, affordable. and accessible opportunities that empower learners
to meet lifelong educational. professional, and personal goals, as well as to
drive the engine of economic development in the municipality.
As of this writing, the Province of
Pangasinan has three local universities and colleges that are recognized by the
Commission on Higher Education. These are the Binalatongan Community College in
San Carlos City. the University of Eastern Pangasinan in Binalonan, and the
Urdaneta Cordillera University in Urdaneta City. Bayambang envisions to have
the same recognition as the LGU works towards creating a better future for the
youth through accessible, affordable, and quality education.
The Bayambang Polytechnic College (BPC) offers four (4) degree
courses. namely Bachelor of Science in Agri-Business Management, Bachelor of
Science in Entrepreneurship, Bachelor in Culture and Arts Education, and
Bachelor in Physical Education, and five (5) vocational programs, namely
Associate in Agribusiness Management. Associate in Entrepreneurship. Computer
Systems Servicing NC II, Agro-entrepreneurship NC II. and Customer Services NC
II. Now, there is no need for college students to enroll in universities or
colleges outside the town or province as the opportunity has been brought
closer to them. This means that students no longer need to worry about their
daily fares, payment for dorms or apartments, and being away from their families
as their need for a college that offers their desired course is already here.
The courses offered in the BPC are
some of the most in-demand courses after graduation. Agriculture is a large
part of the college as Bayambang is an agricultural town, and the LGU desires
for the locals to become adept with knowledge and technical expertise which
will help them and the town grow socio-economically in the long run. This will
help Bayambang win in its Revolution against Poverty that is first and foremost
a program for the betterment of the lives of the people in the municipality.
In the battle to fight poverty,
education is the most important tool for progress and sustainability. It is not
a privilege, but a right that can never be taken away from an individual. Thus,
this college is here to make history for a better future for the people of
Bayambang.
