Cont'd, President's Message:
It started from the merger of five DECS-supervised high schools in the province and upon its establishment by an act of Congress on December 5, 1990, it started building its physical and curricular foundations by fulfilling its mandate to cater to the educational needs and training requirements of the poor but deserving segment of our society in this province and nearby locality.
At present, one hundred percent (100%) of the eligible programs offered in SKPSC that had graduates have been subjected to voluntary accreditation and passed in varying levels by the Accrediting Agency for Chartered Colleges and Universities of the Philippines (AACCUP) – an unprecedented feat in the history of state colleges in the country considering SKPSC’s relatively short length of existence.
In terms of its academic excellence, SKPSC won two years in a row the national competition in Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) and vied in the World Cup in Barcelona, Spain and competed in the World Cup in Toronto, Canada, where it placed 1st Runner-up in League 8 of the Competition. Aside from this, key officials as well as students, one of whom traveled in 26 Asian countries, have been very active in trainings, seminars, and conferences abroad, specifically in Australia, Israel, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, China, Japan, and New York resulting to numerous grants and projects granted in favor of SKPSC. To date, SKPSC- SIFE team is now bound for Singapore for this year’s SIFE’s international competition.
Our affiliations include the following:
· Chairman, Accrediting Agency of Chartered Colleges and Universities in the Philippines (AACCUP)
· Regional Chairman, Philippine Association of State Universities in the Philippines
· Board Member, Philippine Fisheries Network, Inc.
· Vice Chairman, Agricultural Colleges Association in the Philippines (ACAP)
· Former President, Mindanao Association of StateColleges and Universities in the Philippines (MASCUF)
SKPSC is also proud to announce its linkages and partnership with:
· Basic Education Assistance for Mindanao (BEAM), SKPSC being the service provider in the Region.
· Affiliated Non-Conventional Energy (ANEC) tie up with the Department of Energy
· ExecutiveDevelopmentSeminar-InternationalAcademy in Penang, Malaysia
· AkamaiUniversity in Hilo, Hawaii
· St. Robert’s Training and ManagementCenter in CasaPlaza, IloiloCity
· MindscopeInternationalAcademy in California, USA
· InternationalMedicalEquipmentCenter (IMEC), in Massachusetts, USA
SKPSC is now Level III-A after passing through the rigid scrutiny jointly conducted by the Department of Budget and Management and the Commission on Higher Education. SKPSC has obtained the second highest level in SUC Levelling surpassing most long established colleges and universities in the Philippines. From 111 state colleges and universities in the country, SKPSC is statistically considered as on the rank 15 inspite of its juvenile age.
Again, welcome to SKPSC!
