History

The Escuela de Artes y Oficios de Iloilo (Iloilo School of Arts and Trades) was inaugurated on October 7, 1891, with Don Cristobal Portas, an engineer of public works, serving as its first director. The school introduced electricity to Iloilo for the first time. However, the school closed in 1898. In 1905, the American colonial government established an elementary trade school known as the Iloilo Trade School on the same site. [4]

By virtue of Commonwealth Act No. 313 in 1939, the school was converted into a National School of Arts and Trade with Iloilo School of Arts and Trades as its official name. In 1940, the school offered the Two-year Teacher Education Curriculum for the graduates of the secondary trade schools and Three-Year Education Curriculum for graduates in general high school.

In 1951, the school was authorized to open the degree of Bachelor of Science in Industrial Education (BSIE). The school was made a training center in the development of industrial arts program when the team of Industrial Educators from Stanford University arrived in 1957. In 1968, it also became a training center for implementation of the reconstructed manpower program of the National Manpower and Youth Council. In 1974, the Educational Development Project Implementation Task Force (EDPITAF) identified the school as the Regional Staff Development Center (RSDC) for Practical Arts in Western Visayas. It also pioneered in the implementation of the graduate program for vocational technical education in 1976 offering the degree Master of Arts in Teaching Vocational Education.

In May 1983, by virtue of Batas Pambansa Blg. 395, the school was converted into a chartered state college known as the Western Visayas College of Science and Technology. [1]

The university acquired a 1.5-hectare (3.7-acre) lot across the road in addition to its present 4.75-hectare (11.7-acre) area that accommodates the main campus.

The college was elevated to a university in June, 2013 and changed its name to Iloilo Science and Technology University. [5]
