HISTORY
The
Rizal Technological University (RTU) was established on July 11,
1969 upon the approval by then Secretary of Education in response
to the outmost request of the provincial Board of Rizal, headed
by governor Isidro S. Rodriguez, to put up a higher education institution
in the province of Rizal. It was first known as the College of Rizal.
The
College of Rizal opened its classes on July 14, 1969 with course
offerings in business administration, education and liberal arts.
On
March 20, 1975, the College of Rizal in Pasig and Rizal Technical
High School in Mandaluyong, both situated in the province of Rizal,
were merged and converted into the Rizal Technological Colleges
by virtue of Presidential Decree (PD) No. 674. The Decree authorized
the expansion of curricular programs and promotion of researches
in the development and conservation of natural resources in the
Province of Rizal.
The
promulgation of P.D. No. 751 on July 25, 1975 amended certain provisions
of P.D. No. 674 and made the operation and maintenance of the Rizal
Technological Colleges a joint project and undertaking of the Provincial
Government of Rizal and the MERALCO Foundation, Incorporated. This
Decree broadened the support and strengthened the organization of
the College.
The issuance of Presidential Decree No.824 integrating some of the
big towns of Rizal within the Metropolitan Manila Area (MMA) jurisdiction
caused the Provincial Government of Rizal some difficulties to finace
the operation and maintenance of the Rizal Technological Colleges
. thus, the Metropolitan Manila Commission assumed the financial
support of the college until December 31, 1978. the Technology Resource
Center (TRC) also exerted great efforts to help maintain full operations
of the College.
On
April 1, 1978, the RTC was nationalized and became a chartered State
College by virtue of P.D. 1314-A. the decree mandated the College
to be the Center for Cooperative Education which shall offer baccalaureate
degrees in agriculture, fisheries, arts and sciences, trades and
technology and other degrees as well as short-term courses of technological
nature and a secondary curriculum to satisfy the manpower needs
of the nation and assist in the realization to the national development
goals.
After 19 years, the College was converted into Rizal Technological
University on October 11, 1997 by virtue of Republic Act No.8365.
The University is tasked with the responsibilities: provide highly
professional, scientific, technological and special instruction
in the fields of engineering and technology, education, business
and entrepreneurial technology, and the arts and sciences; operate
a laboratory high school for teacher education programs; and promote
research, extension and advance studies in its areas of specialization.
Through its Cooperative Education Program, it shall continue to
lead in the provision of work-integrated learning through partnership
with industry and involvement of students in civic activities.
Today, RTU has six campuses. The main campus is located at Boni
Avenue, Brgy. Malamig, Mandaluyong City. Other campuses are situated
in Brgy. San Miguel, Pasig City; Barangay San Roque, Antipolo City;
Brgy. San Salvador, Baras Rizal; Kawit, Cavite; and Paluan, Occidental
Mindoro.
RTU is the first state university in Mandaluyong City and Pasig
City, Metro Manila and in the province of Rizal and Occidental Mindoro.
Today, RTU has the distinction of being the first educational institution
in the Philippines to utilize Cooperative Education as a curriculum
plan which is recognized by various industries, businesses and agencies
all over the country. Aside from being the pioneer of several innovative
academic programs in the Philippines, such as Doctor of Technology
Education, Master of Technology Education, Master of Science in
Engineering Education, and Instrumentation and Control Technology,
the University has established itself as the National Instrumentation
and Control Center and Welding and Reseach Training Center. It has
also been the pilot school of the Technology Resource Center under
the Ministry of Human Settlement and now a member of the school
network implementing the Engineering and Science Education Program
(ESEP) of the Philippines.
The functions and services of RTU are not confined to instruction
alone as it has shifted to full gear towards the enhancement of
its research and development programs and continued to pursue the
policy of sharing its expertise and resources with the community
through its non-formal education programs and extension services.
